I've been looking at the DV-47a also but I will probably wait to see what the competition will look like. I did not know about the Marantz, do you know what the pricing will be?
I agree Kevin, its about time for that DVD-A/SACD player. I don't care to wait for all the legal stuff to be figured out for a digital connection, analog may be messy but it still works. Unfortunately probably a lot more dvi, ugh. I am hoping for some more DLP projectors with sub 3K prices...
