What's Toshiba replacing the Toshiba HD XA2 with?
Nice Dave 
Which new OPPO DVD player is the one to get?
I asked this question in another blog, but thought it would be good to ask in this one too: Does anyone know which video upscaling chip the Oppo 983 will have? Faroudja, Silicon Optix Reon, Realta, Gennum? 
Best video upscaling chip?
Other than the Toshiba HD XA2, which is no longer available, do any other DVD players available now with a video upscaler use the Silicon Optix Reon chip or Realta chip? And does anyone know which video chip the new Oppo 983 coming available soon ... 
Which new OPPO DVD player is the one to get?
Is the 983 expected to have a more quality look/solid construction than the 980 and 981? 
Which new OPPO DVD player is the one to get?
Anyone know approximately when OPPO will release their next DVD player to replace the 980 and 981? 
Suggestions for AES/EBU cable for Classe CDP-102?
Hi Celt16, We have a very similar set-up of B&W matrix speakers for HT. I'm in the market for a new HT SSP and considering the Classe SSP-600, Anthem D1 or D2, Halcro SSP100, and Krell HTS 7.1. What models did you consider before the Classe SS...

What's the best HD DVD player under $1,500
To Unclejeff or anyone, if price is not an issue for me, would it make sense to get the Toshiba XA2 just for it's better video scaler/audio, if I just use it for DVD backward compatability, that is not buying any HD DVD's. Does that make sense or ...

What's the best HD DVD player under $1,500
Thanks everyone, great info! I guess I'll look into getting an OPPO or Toshiba XA2 DVD player. It sounds like it doesn't make sense to purchase a separate video scaler like the DVDO or Crystallio II. And I'll still need to decide on a new surround... 
What's the best HD DVD player under $1,500
The new Rotel RSP-1069 has a quality video scaler, so that's one reason I'm considering it, and I used to own a Rotel RSP-1066, so I'm familiar with the manufacturer's build quality. I was considering the Anthem Statement D2 awhile back for it's v... 
What's the best HD DVD player under $1,500
Sorry guys, I guess what I'm really looking for is just a great DVD player to replace my Marantz DV12S1, which is nice and built like a rock, but I'm looking for better picture quality and perhaps better audio, maybe an HDMI output would be better... 
Lexicon MC-12 vs Arcam A/V 9
Did you go with the MC-12 or the Arcam AV9, and what do you think of it so far? I've been thinking of getting one of these processors too, strictly for a home theater system.
