Oppo DV-981..What are the shortcomings?

[Luvin Da Blues]

I'm thinking of upgrading my DVD player and keep coming back to the Oppo DV-981. This seems too good to be true..there has to be some short comings? It also plays SACD and DVD audio.

The DV-981 also incorporates the DCDi by Faroudja video processing technology (which is Greek to me) and my TV has this..would this make one or the other redundant or are the complimentary? I will be viewing it through a 46" LCD that is capable of 1080p with a native resolution of 720p..can someone clear this up for me in layman terms please?

I have read the posts hear and else where and know Robert the Rambler has one..I would be extremely interested in your comments now that you have some seat time with it...Thanks.

I can get this OL for $260 CAN. I was brought up to realize that if it seems to good to be true is probably is..comments?

Thanks all in advance for any feedback.
