Hi BVD,
My stereo 16bit NOS USB dac..... mac mini > usb dac > preamp. I'm all set with my stereo playback system.
I'm looking for a BDP (hdmi digital out) that does video playback, upconverting excellent. If, it must come with other caveats....so be it.
Point being, I can't see buying the Oppo for 500bucks as "universal" A/V unit. I've already got a top notch digital stereo playback setup.
If, the Oppo is the king of video playback and upconversion, then I'll consider biting the bullet. I'd think there are other BDP with less bells and whistles that do video equally as well...I'm making an assUmption here.:-)
Regards,
Mitch
