Wayne, thanks for the advice. However, I am looking for something that will play both DVD-A and SACD. As far as I know, Sony does not make a player with DVD-A capability. The feature I like about the Marantz DV6600 is that the video function can be turned off during music play. I've also read good things about the Yamaha DV-S5770 universal player. I'm leaning toward the Marantz at this point, but I'm open to investigating other alternatives.
