Sony DVP NS500V SACD/DVD for $299! (1 Viewer)

I'm thinking of buying this player.... the Sony DVP NS500V which is a DVD (video) and SACD player. Retails for $299.
I can't find any threads about this player, so I'm starting one! Found 3 reviews at audioreview.com and that's it.
Any comments?

if you have more $$ you can spend, get separate DVD and SACD components. when they're bundled together like this, you lose quality on both ends.

...but for $299 it shouldnt be bad. i got a Sony SCD-CE775 a few months back for $299 from Oade Bros and, although it was a nice player, i like the titles available on DVD-A more, so i sold it. you'd be better off getting the '775 and a Panasonic RV31 (~$170), but this unit wont be bad.
