Title: Upconverter + DVD-A?
Post by: plucks on April 12, 2007, 12:21:43 AM: So i know that there are a few players out there which upconvert to 1080 & play DVD-A disks.
So i picked this one up:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16882116059

stoked to find an upconverter player since i got an HDTV, with DVDA because i have yet to find a good playback option for 24bit...
I got it today, hooked it up via COAX and am noticing that something just doesn't sound right...i havent gotten a chance to pop in some other DVD-As, but tomorrow I will.
I think my Sony receiver is truly the problem since it prohibits sending a signal to the subwoofer and limits to just the 2 L & R fronts. The highends sound a little harsh.

But my question is, does anyone know if this is a solid option, or are there some better ones?

Thanks!

Post by: plucks on April 12, 2007, 07:30:05 PM: So I found some 24/48 DVDa disks and the receiver likes those a lot more than 24/96!

Question still remains, how much of an improvement would I get with a higher quality DVDa player?

I think the receiver would make a bigger difference?
