Universal Digital Players

Are most if not all of the current universal players basically repackaged Pioneer players? It makes me wonder about price versus performance if that is the case. I used to own a Theta DaViD which was based on a Pioneer DVD player and while it was a very good DVD transport it really was not better in my system than the Pioneer DV-09.

I'm disapointed to hear the DaViD wasn't as good as the DV09. I had a DV09 and was disappointed about everything except thte picture. Now I have the Pioneer AX10. I smokes the DV09. Not even close hands down. DVDA scores a 10 SACD scores a 9.5 and Redbook CD scores a 9. BTW, this is based on experience with ML 39, Muse 9 Gen 4 Sig, Waida 7/9 combo and a BAT VK-10.

But back to your question I THINK (don't KNOW) that they may use Panasonic transports as well.
