Ok.... please "school" me... 
What makes a really High-End DVD player, like the Tag McLaren, so much "better" than a mid-level DVD player?
I guess a different way to ask the question is: why is the $6,000 Tag McLaren (if that is the price) so much more expensive than a $500 Toshiba or Sony DVD player? Will the higher-end players actually delivery better DVD video and audio performance? I've read some of the marketing info on the Tag McLaren and it mentions how it produces superior sound:
"Best Sound
The DVD32R uses a top loading transport, allowing its drive motor and servo electronics to be mounted to a heavy, mass loaded sub-chassis. Advanced interface circuitry reduces rise and fall times whilst preventing waveform discontinuities, reducing the demand on the digital interconnects. When used with the AV32R T2L allows the AV32R to fix its clock to provide a low noise, ultra low jitter reference. The result is improved data integrity, reduces jitter and better sound. "

Is this info techinically correct? Or is digital audio and video digital and the above is mostly marketing rhetoric?
Peace.....
