Looking around the forums/fora will bring up the following three companies being discussed/compared: Marantz Oppo Sony Each company has its fans, but in the end, you ought to find somewhere that can offer you an A/B(/C) comparison, though this could be difficult with the Oppo. If you're after a BD/DVD player within your budget, then the Oppo would be best. Sony's most recent "flagship", the SCD-XA5400ES, seems to be out of production, though I think it is still possible to find them.
Have fun!
