Topic: Maybe a decent Universal Player option?

   not me, but not far off.

back to my original Q:  does this thing output 24/96 from DVD-V?  that's the format I've been burning to lately and only need a new transport.  I'd gladly send a freebie 24/96 DVD-V for someone to try for me.

[Nick's Picks]

i'll give it a try, i've got some burnt.  in fact, i know i've played them and its running into my DAC.  not sure what its doing w/the signal though.

also noted in stereophiles review, this thing converts DSD > 24/88.2 PCM.  I have not tried to see if it also routes this signal out.

Shopping for something that also does DivX since our current one is a cheap p.o.s.  (Philips Dvp642)  I'd like to hear more about whether it is gapless and outputs 24/96.

got my 970 delivered by FedEx yesterday

it does seem to hickup a little between tracks when playing 24/48 DVD-A (created with DVD-Audiophile), gonna try a couple more discs and see how it goes.

again....why the PC rocks as a transport.

or a player that works as it should

until a store bought DVD-A gets put through it and hickups, then i'll agree w/you.

understood....all of these programs theoretically can cause problems since they may be authoring the discs differently, and the different media may cause issues.  Bottom line though, my Denon 2900 is a god send..plays everything I throw at it flawlessly, built like a tank and sounds fantastic.  that said, I will be getting one of the oppo units for video at some point in the near future though...

[Nick's Picks]

if you are getting one for vid, then its the 971 you want...but you probably know that.

[nickgregory]

thanks..actually I am going to get the 981 as that has HDMI output...just have to give the wife a month or so to forget that I bought a VS center channel then I can get away with buying this

[Nick's Picks]

maybe thats the one.  I know one of their models (maybe two) have superior video chips/performance over the 970.

Just got my DV-970HD for 161.00 to my door.

It sounds great, plays anything i put in it.... all homemade discs
Burnt DVDA's have a slight hiccup every track......big disappointment
for me and it outputs 24/48 via coax
Looks like i'm not getting rid of my other deck too soon.

It will do 24/96 & 24/192 via coax if you turn-off the HDMI output.

+T to both of you

You are correct sir, just changed my setting and it works. +T
Nothing like making a false claim in a worldwide forum :-)


BTW......my opinion has changed about this deck. Its great!!!... except for the
hiccups on burnt DVD's. Plays all of my older vcds and svcds which i don't want to convert
just have a good player and this fits the bill, plus the DVDa's and SACD's sound great
and digital out 24/192  for 149.00
