Sony DVD recomendations..


Hi folks...

i'm looking for recomendations for a good Sony DVD player that will primarily be a transport for redbook and custom DVD-V discs w/24bit two track audio. picture quality is not really a big concern.
said deck would need to pass 24bit PCM signal out its s/pdif jacks.
My current source is a vinnie mod Toshiba 3960 that I use as a transport only (dampening and power supply mods). It works pretty ok, but its not the best transport in the world due to its build quality. I lean towards sony as I know they are good transports by reputation.
Looking to stay used and under $500.
thanks

My 9000es sounds wonderful, however it is picky with Hybrid SACD's. Sometimes it will play one and sometimes it will not play the same hybrid. It will not play CDR's, so most of my bootlegs are out.
Great with movie's and again, sounds flat out wonderful but on occasion will become finicky with disks. Never had this problem with my old $300.00 Panasonic.
