The two that probably come closest are the Camelot Roundtable which has outstanding video quality (see Secrets Shootout 1) and audio quality (see SGHT review) at $4k or $5k, depending on the audio circuitry (see Camelot site), and the EAD TheaterVision P which has outstanding video quality essentially equivalent to the Roundtable (see Secrets Shootout 2), and outstanding audio quality (it won a 2000 Golden Ear Award from the Absolute Sound as a CD player) at $3250 list.
Both use the SI/DVDO503 deinterlacer for near flawless deinterlacing, and the Panasonic MPEG decoder which lacks the red chroma bug. Don Munsil of Secrets has called these two "near reference quality" as DVD players, and "the closest to a 'perfect' DVD player."
Unfortunately, the EAD TVP has been discontinued. If you go to www.audiogon.com under Video Classified some dealers are selling their remaining few TVP at prices in the $1800 to $2000 range.
