VERY good transport as far as I can tell when I get myself to use it for CD and not have an HD DVD filling its innards. I'd say that applies and can't hurt to try it. Regarding the comments of it not being a good standard upsampling DVD I can't say I agree, I think it looks quite good on a very hi resolution video setup.
Toshiba HD DVD player as Transport
Anyone consider using one of the Toshiba HD DVD players as an inexpensive transport with an external DAC. My understanding is that it uses a RAM buffer which may go a long way towards minimizing jitter and timing issues and considering that you can buy these things for around $500 new it might make sense to do something like this and put most of your money into a high quality DAC. Any thoughts?
