I'm looking for the best interlaced dvd player for using with a Faroudja NR Series and a JVC D-ILA projector (I know a HTPC would be cheaper and whith better image, but I need something simple for others to deal with). Is the SONY 7700 the best option? Whith all this "explotion" of progressive dvd players, what good interlace player were left in the market?

I am also in the same situation. I already got a NRS, so I would prefer a top quality interlaced DVD player.


Heard someone mentioned Panasonic RV80, how does it compare to Pionner DV-09 (I used to own) or Sony 7700 ?


Does anyone know ?


Thanks,

Cam

*Bump* Same boat with an NRS and a new Sharp 9000 ....I have an old Sony 7000 right now which doesn't have DTS...

Check out the Panasonic RP91. See the DVD forum for a discussion of its interlaced video quality, which is supposed to be excellent.

I'm using a CAL Audio CL-2500 DVD player with the NRS and 9000. Picture quality is exceptional with the CAL as the source. The CAL is also a great sounding transport for CD playback as well. Sometimes on Audiogon you can spot one for about $1750.

Be glad to answer any questions about the CAL.

It's my understand that the CAL2500 doesn't support DTS.

Hi Jim- The CL-2500 does in fact support DTS and it sounds wonderful!

If you can find a Denon DVD-5000 -- possibly on used market--this was an incredible interlaced player. It might even be considered a "classic" one day, not unlike the Marantz 9 is among audiophiles.

I second the Cal2500DVD, awesome interlaced signal, outstanding sound.

Gladiator and LJG, I'm also curious about the CAL preamp/processor. Is either of you using that as well?

I'm using a Proceed PAV/PDSD with the Cal CL-2500. I use the upsampled digital output (AES/EBU) on the Cal to the digital input on my PDSD (with latest software) for CDs and it sounds excellent.
