Matty1137, I'd take your approach a step further: any new digital-disc player I'd be interested in must play EVERYTHING - CDs, DVDs, multichannel SACDs, DVDs of all types including DVD-A, and all the new HD formats now available (I'm tempted to add "or envisioned"). Plus homebrewed CDs of all types, including photos of course. And for $500, tops. I doubt if I am alone in this view.
