SO I've narrowed my Universal player search down to three players.

The finalists are:

Pioneer Elite DV-46AV
Cambridge Audio DVD-87
ONKYO DV-SP502B

Does anyone have any experience with any of these? My primary use for one of these players will be music.

    I like the Pioneer. But I'd go for the 65 or the 79. Also the Marantz 9600 is excellent

    for the money the Pioneer is smokin. I was impressed with it's performance at that price range. Nice job they did

    I was about to pull the trigger on the Elite DV-47ai, but found a killer deal on a DV-59avi off craigslist locally.

    I really like mine for both video, CD, and Multichannel / SACD / DVDA. Thought it wasn't able to read SACDs properly for a bit, but ends up I just had to clean it with a Scotch/3M disc.

    Good luck!
