I have a fairly simple question. Will Fardoudja equipped chips provide better performance on native progressive scan software such as most movie DVDs?
I watch about 95% movies compared to TV broadcasts on DVD so I figure the DCDi should be silent during most of the movies since their output should be progressive and not interlaced. If this is the case, is there much difference between Faroudja-based players (i.e. Denon 1600/Panasonic RP 82/Panasonic XP30 etc.) and non-Faroudja based players (i.e. Pioneer dv-563a) on film DVDs?
If there is not, I would be inclined to go the way of the cheap universal to get more audio playback options.
Thanks.
