Hi. I am a new 950-/770 owner and loving it. I, too, am looking to add a new DVD-A/SACD player. I am replacing my Pioneer ELite DV-47A. Please accept that my comments are totally subjective. IMHO, the Pioneer unit is a great DVD player. Picture is superb and colors are grand. (I do route it through a DVDO IScan Ultra processor). DVD-A sounds terrific (I also have an ICBM in the loop for 5.1 audio). I am not as impressed with SACD sound. I am not sure how to describe it, but "antiseptic" comes to mind, or "thin." My main gripe is that the build quality is not what I have experienced with previous Pioneer Elite gear I have purchased, and after owning it for about a year, I have started experiencing serious video drop-outs. It is on its way back to Pioneer, and I am using my SOny DV9000ES for DVD right now (which I think provides a superior picture ot the Pioneer despite its age). I have just ordered a Denon 5900 DVD player, but due to availability it may not be in until early January. I will return and drop a few lines on my "subjective" impressions of the new player.

Good luck!

Mike
