"Best" multichannel universal player right now?

Kal. I too have an hd621. I run most music through it via an aple tv. I have a ps-3 I use for disks having recently sold a modded 5910. Have you ever compared one of these with an oppo? Seems pretty inexpensive if there is any noticeable difference with any format disk--audio or video.

I bought one for a driving simulator and tried it for movies and music after selling the denon. It is not bad. How does the oppo compare to the Sony with hdmi you recenty auditioned?

Thanks. Moved and misses a copy. I'll check it on line.

Kal, Just checked the last 4 issues.

I found short mentions of the Sony in the July issue and again in the "Best of" in October. Did I miss something more in-depth?

Thanks.

Ahh, as I recall that was pre HD621. In one of those later columns you raved about the OPPO via HDMI, better or on-par with the Sony? Not clear. The Oppo certainly has a price advantage. Plus, it can play BRD's. hmmm

From what I can garner the Sony may have an edge with some pre-pro's/receivers but for HD621 guys...

Kal, I re-read the latest issue and it seems more clear now. Never is a strong word.
