Audiophiles are your target marketgiven the Burr Brown DACs and overall NAD emphasis on CD playback on their earlier DVD players. Lack of multi-format compatibility and Progressive Scan are a drawback, and the fact it's a four year old product.
Not good news, but a decent DVD player costs about $100 these days. $160 with SACD and DVD-Audio and it'll give you 90% of the performance of a $1000 machine.
Do you have a better CD spinner, or is that not critical anymore?
