The Bottom Line The affordable Pioneer DV-588A Super Audio CD/DVD-Audio player offers sound advantages over CD and even plays DivX files. Pioneer's entry-level Super Audio CD/DVD-Audio player sounds good enough for all but the most critical listeners. The Oppo BDP-83 is an outstanding universal disc player with excellent performance on Blu-rays and DVDs and lightning-fast operational speed, but most home theater fans will balk at the high price. The LG BD390's combination of excellent image quality, superfast loading times, and its currently unbeatable feature set make it our top choice among premium standalone Blu-ray players. The Philips DVP642 is good choice for DivX aficionados, but everyday DVD watchers can do better for the price.
