The Oppo Blu-ray is now officially released. May not be the best money can buy, but Oppo continually re-defines the "knee of the curve". $499.
"Best" multichannel universal player right now?
"Best" as in what's the best at the "knee of the curve" at the moment? Looking for 1080p, excellent video processing (no artifacts, excellent scaling) and as importantly excellent 2 channel and multichannel SACD and DVD-A. HDMI 1.3 a definite asset, as is digital out.
