I'm leaning toward this now, which is nice, because its cheaper!
Tickets are dead to me.  Except the ones I have, don't have, and lost.  Not to mention the ones you have, don't have, and lost.   And the ones that other dude has, doesn't have, and lost.  Let me know if you need some tickets, I'm happy to oblige.

I'm having trouble tracking down a Pioneer 563A.  Seems like it is an older model.  Anyone have any feedback on the Pioneer DV-588A-S?

The 563A is an older model that was replaced by the 578A. Then the 578A was replaced by the 588A-s. Supposedly, on the DV-588A-s, they compromised the picture quality in order to be able to play divx discs. If you wanted to go the pioneer route, I would have to suggest the DV-578A. I own one and it has never given me a problem. Plays everything and it's well worth the price, imo.

I have the DV-578A as well. Plays everything and never blinks. I feel that the video is only decent, and the dac stage poor. I just use the spdif out to my 3000es and all is well!

Pioneer DV-578A-S:
-Playback Disc: DVD-Video/Audio/DVD-R/RW (compatible w?CPRM) SACD/CD/CD-R/CD-RW/Video CD


is it true only DVD-R is playable?  what about +R?

+R's play fine in the 578A.

I bought a 588A just after Christmas. I can't exactly compare the picture quality, since I only have a 27" TV, the DVD-A/SACD stuff is great. It will play any burned discs no problem as well. One thing to note is that there isn't a "group" button to change groups on a DVD-A created with DVD Audiophile (at least, I haven't found one).

I noticed a few DV-578A's on Ebay.  I'm tempted to pick one up. I would love to be able to hear my 24 bit recordings outside of a computer for the first time!
