We saw quite a few OPPO players at CES, some in some pretty big systems.  Thanks for the reminder.

Do you think that an upconverting DVD player like the one above would have a better upconverting engine as compared to the one in my TV (Sony Grand Wega SXRD 1080p 55")  ???

My current DVD player is great, except it does not upconvert....

I am so leary when I see a 5lb deck being touted as a great player. I have never heard the Oppo but every time I hear a budget giant killer deck I walk away dissapointed. This one has gotten so much praise maybe it is finally THE one but who knows until you try it, for the price it would be awesome if it was a killer deck.

I know you like, tape for people's approval and stuff, and wave your tapes around like they're your dick...  but even you can't actually think section tapes from philips sound good.

Not so sure how the unit sounds, but it offers a great picture.

The bset buy in the market today is the Denon 2910s and 3910s.  Deales are blowing prices out on these to make room for the new models.  I saw 3910 going for just over $300 somewhere the other day.

I was looking everywhere less than a month ago for a deal like that? I didn't even find any 2910's for less than $350.

Sure it wasn't the 2910?  3910 used would be $700 I'd think

Oops.  That was a mis-type.  2910s a going for around three bills.  Still a great deal.

Be sure to tell us how it works out.  When you play DVDs, what are you planning to use for a display?  The thing only has a HDMI video output.  No component video, s-video or composite video.

I saw some 2910's today in the 340 range and 3910's in the 575 range. My 2910 is already fucking up. Won't play DVDa's worth a shit. Less than 1 year old. Still plays movies :laugh:. Not what I bought it for >:D. Lucky I only paid around 4 and change when I bought it.

Teddy, I hope this unit here is promising. I'm tired of buying Denon boat anchors.

So, HDMI is not the choice output ???

It has S-video and composite. Just no component. Main use is HDMI for the upsampling of DVDs.

Doh!  Yes it does.  I was looking at the comparison matrix and saw no mention of the S-video or composite outputs.  I see it there on the Features & Specs tab now.  Thanks for pointing that out.

Well, it may not be the 2910. I'm just searching for answers. Bad batch of DVD's? Problem with DVD Audio Creator? Problem with the PC used to burn? Seems my older DVD-A's are fine and the latest batch I burned seem to have the problem. That may have ruled out the 2910.
