Scott, that's a great price. I'm not positive but I think the orig. list was around $700. I have LD players in 2 systems and in the main system I have the Lexicon unit. It is nice since it automatically switches between the digital (DTS) input and AC-3 (DD). The digital input (non- AC-3) can be coax or toslink. It also has a 3 position LD Optimization switch on the fron to minimize signal errors for various brands of players.
