But the Oppo was primarily intended as a VIDEO player. Most customers couldn't care less about its non-HDMI capabilities, nor its SACD/DVD-A capability either. I don't mean "most" people in this thread though, but in general.
The analog audio capabilities are definitely a niche market for this player, a niche Oppo has addressed to a small extent, but I think the main purpose of the design and its originally intended market should be taken into consideration (Oppo has a long-standing VIDEO market). Does anybody really think a do-all "tool" is going to out-perform a quality purpose-designed one? If it did, that's where your big surprise should be...
