I'll be biting the bullet and purchasing a DVD player around Christmas. Budget will be up to $800 Canadian (I'll be purchasing a new TV sometime next year as well.)Question is... is there such a thing as a very good progressive scan DVD player that plays all the available formats and has 24/192 upsampling? I want to use it as a DAC for audio as well as being able to play DVDs. I have an Audio Aero Capitole (not the 24/192 version) for my audio transport and was hoping to take advantage of a DVD players 24/192 upsampler.
Please excuse my ignorance, I have just decided to start researching DVD players in the last few days and know next to nothing about my options.
Any suggestions?
Follow Ups:
The Integra DPS-7.2 DVD-Audio player also does upsampling to 24bit/96khz, although it's not progressive video output. But if you get an HDTV monitor with progressive conversion built into the monitor itself, why worry if the DVD player is progressive?The DPS-9.1 is progressive, but doesn't currently upsample audio. I imagine that will be changed, soon, though, given that the 'lower' model now offers upsampling:

The RP-91 will do remastering to 96kHz not 192kHz.It can decode DVD-A (which can go out to 192k for a stereo recording).
Regards,
The Camelot Roundtable with the 24/192 upgrade board is an option. It won't be cheap, but it is out there. I believe the cost with the upgrade board is a whopping US$4990.Nothing available with that feature set in your allocated budget however.
