| Digital output or Analog output from Blu Ray playe Jwm they're thking that long now to deliver?I decided to go with the 93 vs. the 95 due to the way I'll use the interfaces... just HDMI... and the cost diffs between the two.To realize the added benny's of the 95 I'd have to use the RCA/XLR outs. I... | |
