I've been thinking of going neutral and buying an HD player. I see that many folks here seem to prefer the Toshiba line which prompts this query:
HD-XA2 vs. HD-A35
Price differences aside, is one a better performer than the other; any advantages/disadvantages between the two?
About ready to buy the Denon DVD-3800BDCI blu-ray player (currently using a Sony S300).
From the rocking of the cradle to the rolling of the hearse, the going up was worth the coming down.

Re: HD-XA2 or HD-A35
I've owned the XA2 since last January and had very little trouble with it while others have stated that otherwise. I found the picture quality excellent and ever since the firmware update, the player allows lossless audio through the bitstream.

Re: HD-XA2 or HD-A35
I own the A35 and really love it. I also have the XA1 (not XA2)... The A35 is really great and at $100 less than the XA2 it is essentially the same (obviously it is missing the Reon Chipset) The chipset in it is Ancor Bay (no not the movie studio) but is really is nice!

Thanks, Matthew. Please see my Christmas rant on this forum.
