1: try this site for a short list:  http://hometheater.about.com/cs/dvdlaserdisc/tp/aatpdvdasacda.htm

I can't say whether or not this list is right on target since i havent been following dvd-a or sacd really.

as for your second question...dunno.  There's quite a few quality budget cd players out there.  It all depends on your budget (same with dvd audio players i guess).

Charles has an Onkyo universal disc player which I think only ran him like $250.  He loves it though...

Bos: you sure? I was down there memorial day weekend & I thought he just had 2 dvd players: 1 that played dvd-a & one that didn't. I may be wrong. I'l give him a shout

1) the toshiba 4960 plays DVDA I just picked one up for 60$ and there are some do it yourself mods
if you are into that.
2) I use whatever multi disc there is with a digital out to run into my dac. I just consider it a transport.
Currently I have been using a technics and it's does ok. It never really mattered much before because I had
a computer hooked to the stereo and I could just play whatever .flac files I had on the drives.

I just got an onkyo dv-sp502 single disc universal DVD player. $250. So far I really like it.

This is what I'm getting in a few weeks hopefully:

The US version is called T534, in Europe it's T524 for some reason, but they're identical I think. MSRP is EUR 349 in Europe.

I actually just bought a pioneer elite dv-45a (my previous dvd player crapped out on me all the sudden) and I must say this is a nice unit...plays everything I throw at it and a significantly better picture than I was getting on the other unit!  An auth pioneer dealer is also selling these on audiogon at significantly lower than the prices I could find anywhere else!
