Any of you folks have experience with the Onkyo DX7555? Do you think it is worth $400? Would it be overkill given the rest of my gear? Right now I'm using my Toshiba dvd player to play CDs.

I tried a $4,000 Esoteric SACD/cdp and a $4,000 Marantz SACD/cdp within the last calendar year, and have had similar nice players in the past (Sony, Sonic Frontiers, an Arcam CD33) . . .
... and ended up with two Onkyo 7555 cd players! They're that good, and that good a value.
I see that the more expensive players are a tad "better", but not $3500 "better." The Onkyo gets you 99.9% of the way.
Nice looking machines, too.
I don't believe that the 7555 would be overkill for you, though. Just a really nice, solid piece of gear that you could grow into or just enjoy. -
Sherardp, Thanks for the other suggestions.
Satire, This may be a stupid question but ... can you think of any reason why I might not want to run it with my HT Onk SR875 and RTi10s?MAIN: Polk Lsi9s; Polk PSW505; Lsic (in box); Onkyo SR-875; Parasound 2250; Cambridge Audio 740C; LG BD370

I'm not familiar with your gear, but can't see a conflict.
If you're casting around for other suggestions in that price range, the other unit that I've heard is the Rotel - a 1072, I believe it is. That's a splendid machine, too.
