My DVD player is dying an untimely death, I was hoping that the old Toshiba prog-scan would last until the whole HD/BluRay thing was sorted out... it didn't.
I don't want to blow the bank on something too expensive, but want something decent. I was just about convinced to get a Denon 1920 when I stumbled upon a few Oppo 971 words and looked into it, now I'm very interested. I have axiom speakers and an SVS... so I'm pretty comfortable with getting good stuff from on-line dealers... so long as I get the approval from my friends at HTF.
SACD isn't very important to me, but do want to be able to listen to CD's and DVD-A. The TV is a Sony LCD projection I think it's some model number like 55XS955. The price on the Oppo is insanely good, and they also include the DVI/HDMI cord... all in all that saves like $150-$200! But can this thing really be as good as I've read from googling it? And I hear plenty about the Denon 2910, but nothing about the 1920... why is that? Is there something I'm missing when looking for a DVD player?
Please help me make up my mind. All comments about Oppo 971 and Denon 1920 are welcome. Let's hear what you've got to say.
Thank you,
