Just sold my Denon DVD-1600 and looking at purchasing a Denon DVD-1920 to replace it. Basically I want a dual purpose player such as DVDA/SACD and good video/sound dacs. Is the Denon 1920 a good buy like the 1600 was back in its day? I have a Sony Sony KP46WT520 CRT HD TV with HDMI inputs. I was also thinking of getting the cheap Sony Progressive scan (has 12bit 108MHz Video-DAC) that does upconvert at wal-mart for $70. My buddy just bought one for his LCD HDTV and it looks as good as my Denon DVD-1600 if not better. Just looking for something to get me by until HD DVD becomes available.

I recently took advantage of a great deal on a sony TA-E9000ES pre amp. Previous to owning the Sony I've tried a Sony DB930 receiver, HK receiver (sorry forget model #), Rotel 965 pre amp, Denon 2800 and finally Denon 3300. I only got the TA-E9000ES a couple of days before I left for the in-laws for...
