Performance

Pioneer DV-588A

Affordable universal DVD-Audio/SACD player; ultra-low-profile design; plays DivX files; reads MP3 files from DVDs; excellent overall disc compatibility.

Default setting is for stereo SACDs; questionable compatibility with DualDiscs.

spectacular performer for the money

BACKGOUND: I researched a good multifunction unit with good sound for a long time before settling on this (the runner-up was a Harman Kardon DV-22, I think, now discontinued). I've been getting ready to make a jump into real hi-fi audio, but my ...

Spectacular, unbeatable audio for the money- ultra-versatile player- plays every format

Slow menu responsiveness - an obstacle to exploring file listings.
