Soney 9000ES as a transport

Let it break in[burn in ]in analog mode for 300 hours and you might find your money better spent on new interconnects.I have to agree on the digital out being first rate on this unit though.If you end up going with an outboard dac i would like to hear about the results.

Rogerwalk,i have a cinema series toshiba 35 inch monitor and can see improvements in picture quality over the 7000.These improvements are in color and clarity and are obvious to anyone with a quality monitor.This particular tv was the best out of the box picture sght and video magazine had ever seen two years ago.I imagine any quality monitor from sony xbr,panasonic or several others you would see the differences just using s video or componet video.
