I'm thinking of buying a new DVD player which could also do some occasional 2-channel music duties. I need 2 SCART's with RGB passthrough for my Freeview box and CRT telly, but I don't really want a DVD-R. It would also be intersting to mess around with SACD/DVD-A.
I'm currently looking at the Pioneer models 668, 868 or 989. The 989 is all-singing, all-dancing but includes a lot of video scaling stuff thatI don't need, as well as user-selectable digital audio filters. I've seen these for £770 online.
The 868 is the old model, with the audio filters but without the video gubbins. There are a couple of places still advertising these for around £640, but I don't know if they have any actual stock.
The 668 is the entry-level one without the digital filters, and can be had for £420.
Any experience / views / other things I should look at? I really do need 2 SCART's, BTW. And it's got to be silver.
