Solidly built in Malaysia, not China. Most importantly this unit, unlike some earlier versions of Elite DVD players in 1999 or 2000, can read all my home burnt CD-Rs. The sound quality is at least as good as some $200-300 CD players of today, some of which, according to Amazon reviews, only worked a year or so before malfunctioning. I have been using a used one bought on EBay for 3 years, never had problems. And recently found the DVD video quality is amazingly beautiful even using single video RCA output. Certainly a bargain when you still can find one.

I bought this primarily to play Super Audio CD’s, but it has turned out to be a very high standard CD player, and has replaced my everyday cd player

I bought one of these years ago when they first came out and since then I've purchased 2 more both used off eBay. One for another room and the other as a spare. Great for DVD but I like the audio features DVD-Audio DTS and SACD! It dosn't do Blu-ray but I can use another player for that.

I am not reviewing this for video, I bought it as a replacement for a Yamaha sacd/dvd player. As far as sound quality, it is excellent for the money. I am not comparing this to an oppo, or anything else that is above the 200.00 mark. For the money I paid the sound quality is far beyond my old Yamaha. Well worth what I paid for sacd and cd sound quality. It is connected to a Denon avr3806, paradigm studio 20’s bi-amped, with Paradigm cc-450 and Adp rears. Zu audio interconnects on this component. I used the same interconnects, and compared the old Yamaha with this unit using Fleetwood Mac Gold Dust Woman as a reference, the Pioneer won hands down. The cowbell imaging was much more precise and guitar licks were much more detailed.

Very nice player. Only use it for dvd audio and sacd. The aesthetics are beautiful as expected with an elite. Sounds amazing as I use it with my paradigm studio 20’s. Couldn’t be happier with my purchase!
