I'm posting this for a friend, but the unit is in my possession. I was using this as a source for my shortlived 2 channel rig and was very impressed with it's analog sound quality. I don't have the specs. I'll find them later and post pics, but most of you will know it's capability. This player sold for $1000.00 new. No HDMI, but a nice upscaler and you know the rest...

$200.00 plus shipping...

Condition 9/10

More later...

edit...here's a review and some basic specs.

    Ron,I've owned the 2900 for quite some time,a stellar player for sure...I've always thought it would make a great transport with a good DAC behind it.

    I've read where these models can be modded fairly easily, brings them to a new level.

    This seems like a steal to me at this price.

    I liked it alot and it's just sitting here. As a universal transport it was excellent even without a DAC. It has 5.1 multi-outs for MCH and it's buiklt like a tank. Has the remote. As a DVD player...well it's good, but who watches DVDs anymore :biggrin:. That's why it's cheap. Do my friend a favor someone and buy this thing.

    That's a fact,no time for DVDs when there is good music to listen to:biggrin:..."built like a tank" is an understatement for sure.

    but it looks like it also plays SACD's.. which it might be a pretty decent player for that at least.

    I guess I should have been more clear...it plays DVDs, CDs, SACDs, DVD As and probably other types of media...

    ive had this player, and short of blu-ray's and HD dvd, it played every disc i ever tried in it. burnt movies/music and burnt DVD audio. great universal player, and a great price as well. GLWS Ron, the internal DAC is very nice even by today's standards!
