Non-Regional DVD Player with MP3 Support

I am looking to buy a new DVD player today and was wondering if I could get some suggestions for a good player (with as few disc reading problems as possible =)). with DTS, No Regional Code and MP3 support.

Thanks,
Arkru

The Apex 1500 supports MP3s out of the box, and can be easily hacked into a region free player. It also supports DTS out. Whether or not it's a "good" player will get you differing opinions (I only use mine as a secondary player), but it is cheap ($80 at Circuit City).

the quality on this one isn't that great, as compared to standard ones.

Thanks for the tip, I purchased a Sony NC660/B because I got it for a good price ($198) and with the money I saved because of the good deal, I was able to pick up the Apex. While the quality for DVD purposes is not that great, it is a decent alternative to MP3 playing and watching those Region 2 discs in my collection.
