Obviously I'll need to send video directly to the TV via HDMI. Any hidden gotchas here using a pre-HDMI pre-pro? With DVDs I might want to process the sound in the Anthem via coax. Hi Rez material would be 2 channel balanced or 6 channel single ended from the Oppo's analog outputs. I'm thinking the sound might lag a little compared to my Esoteric DV-50, but I think it's losing the SACD laser.

Jim,
did you make a decision?
The only factor that I like about the Oppo, is that, it can be modded for better performance!
Jim-
are you looking to replace the Esoteric w/ the Oppo?
I like the DV-50 for SACD playback only.
The first time it was the DVD laser that failed. That is, if I can get it fixed. Esoteric now shows Integra as their U.S. distributer, not sure I understand that! I have all of the components (except maybe the preamp) for a pretty good stereo system - vinyl, SACD, etc. - laying around unused. I just can't see it as part of my 5.1 AV system going forward. Actually I like the DV-50 with DVD-A even better than SACD, but it's a darned good player.
Yes, it is a very good player. I did not like it for CD playback though.
If you need help or advice on getting the Esoteric fixed- contact John Fort of John Fort Audio in Dallas TX. A true gentleman of the trade.
