Marantz DV9600
$1,999.00
Released August, 2005
The Pros:Versatile - good for high-end audio and home theaters. The audio, video, transport and PSU stages are completely separated - reduces interference. Great 24-bit/192kHz audio performance - based on the Cirrus Logic CS4298 processor.
The Cons:Expensive - not accessible to most consumers. Uninspired design - doesn't look as aesthetically pleasing compared to other DVD players.
