Rotel, no more DVD players?

DVD stand alone players have been usurped by BLU-Ray machines which also do DVD.Also some users have resorted to downloaded playback but to any enthusiast who still demands the best picture and sound quality they have moved on to BLU-Ray machines. Don't forget many users prefer to own a true physical product and BLU-Ray aswell as DVD discs fill that gap.

I recently moved onto BLU-Ray with my Oppo BDP-83 and have no regrets as its a sweet Blu-Ray player and killer up-scaling via Anchor Bay chip set DVD player as well as a damn nice sounding CD player via its own analogue Cirrus Logic CS-4398 DACS

Gmood,

Some people like to own a physical disc (Blu-Ray, DVD product). Next today Blu-ray still offers the highest in picture quality with 1080p and the ability to play the full Rez loss less digital surround Codecs. They also give you a lot of added content from just the movie. But yes for so called rentals a hard drive setup is a good way to watch just a movie if that is all you want to do and do not really want to have a physical disc to keep.
