any thoughts on the pioneer multi dvd

faster100

The cheapo at BB pioneer multi player, does dvd, dvd-a, sacd, for 149.99... we need a better dvd player, and can't afford the denon i want.. so until then i want something alittle better and with dvd-A would be a +++.. as i want to try it out.. this player is in the best buy AD today for $149.00 so what do you think, besides i know you get what you pay for??

or theirs a samsung progressive scan for 59.00
will either of thse players be better than my el, cheapo walmart pioneer dvd i have now.. we actually want to put a dvd player in our room to go with the Tv and receiver we have.. so we would be putting our current cheapo in the room and buying a new better dvd player for the living room/ht rig.... Lemme know

I bought the dv563a about 3 weeks ago. I really like it for everything it does. I have had no problems and SACD and DVD-a sound great, but I only listen in 2 CH hi-rez. I hear there are some bass management issues in multi-channel analog but am not sure and dont care. Buy it and you can always return it if you dont like it.

Here are some reviews:

I have the pioneer 656a and I like it for a cheap do all player. DVD-a and SACD and built-in DTS decoding.
