How did you guys miss the first Universal Blu-ray player??

[pixelthis]

Technically, the Denon plays DVD-A, can the PS3 do that?

Pix, what's your point

LDB sound like a bit of a romantic.

My POINT?
Well, gee, un, lets see,....
OH yeah...

TWENTY FIVE HUNDRED BUCKS

AND FOR WHAT?
Much as I love the idea of SACD, it and DVD-A is dead, basically.
A bLU AUDIO FORMAT will drive a stake into its heart for good.
As for performance, BLU is like CD when it first came out, mainly that a cheap Blu player
will porbably do about as good as an expensive one.
All you get with an expensive one is refinement and a few extra features.
Like playing obsolete audio formats most have never heard of...
Now if I were rich enough to use a crack ho for a footstool on a daily basis
(instead of just for the holidays) then sure why not?
The Lambo insurance is that much a month.
But I LIVE IN A WORLD where 2500 bucks is a new set of Beemer speakers,
five months rent, a pre-pro that I have craved forever, etc.
VIDEO is not like analog audio, you get only very tiny improvements by throwing money at it, and I can get a lot bigger bang for the buck than a very marginal improvement
I would get with the Denon.
Heck, thats a weekend in Vegas!
