there are sub-$150 Toshiba DVD-A players that rival $1000 models in sound quality. Search the playback forum for threads about 'em.

If you mod the 4960 sounds like it'll be killer...but i think i'll stick with my Music Hall cd-25. ;D

it sounds surprsingly well without the mod

yeah, the problem with the player for video is when you use the DVI output....seems to have a flakey interface

I only use the DVI cable and I have no problems whatso ever with the samsung.

what exactly is flakey?

connected with a DVI cable...the problem isnt the settings, I have seen many complaints where the way that Sony manages the DVI protocol and Samsung does is different....both units have been proven that they are operating properly.....just a standards issue

edited to add that it really doesnt matter to me for the HD841 in that I dont use it for my DVD player, only DVD-A/CD/SACD....the satellite receiver is a different story though...but since DirectTV is going to be swapping out all HD receivers in the near future for a new MPEG4 compatible player, I can deal with it for a while..
