Hi all, I'm now in the market for what I will use stricly as an SACD/DVD-A player.* I will not be using it for CD playback, or DVD playback of any sort.* I was wondering who owns one of these units, and what the differences are between last year's flagship model, and this year's.
As far as I know, the differences are mostly video.* The 59AVi has HDMI output capability.* I've heard both units employ exactly the same audio chips and DAC's, but I've also read that the 47Ai sometimes emits a "sqeaking" sound after 2 hours of use.* I've also read that the 47Ai require a burn-in period of 100 hours, whereas I've read no such thing about the 59AVi.*
If anyone has any input, please chime in!
