Pioneer released the Elite 45A "universal" DVD-A/SACD player which is a step down to the Elite 47A, I say go with this if you intend to buy a Dvd player with DVD-A. YOu might as well get one with SACD. It retails for $700 but you can get it online for $500 ...i saw even saw it online for 390 bucks, Yes people! $390 can beat that for the price. The truth is i'm planning to get one soon. Well, that all depends on your budget.
