Seems like a totally awsome player for a really cheap price.

The DV-970HD plays DVD-Audio and SACD's. So that would be a great way to cheaply get into the higher end media...

No kidding, the guys over on HT Guide say they are pretty good and they are happy with them... For that price you can't beat it....

I was looking at the AVS threads last year and many folks got the boner

for Oppo mainly because they implemented video circuitry that usually was

found in more expensive players. At that time, $300 was the price for

their particular model of interest, IIRC killer video over HDMI.

From an audio point of view, I bet a sub $100 universal DVD player would

satisfy many folks. If you have an old HDTV that supports 1080i but only

has analog {component level} level inputs, the old Samsung HD-941

player can do the upsampling over analog, an illegal function today, by

using a simple remote control 'hack'. Paid $126 last year, seen some used

for $80 on Amazon. Great audio and video for cheap. If you do have an HDTV

set with DVI or HDMI, then spend a few more bucks to get a more modern

DVD player with more uber picture quality.
