Best Blu Ray video and for 2 channel transport?
Well I can say this, just go to the local best buy or whoever and give the S550 a shot for the hell of itÂ… But as for the Oppo 983 vs. 980 audio transport wise it would be very strange to have anything significant, like I said I do understand the ...

Currently the 980h... But again I was actually using the oppo at the time as a stand alone unit, not as a transport, then I had the 983 which pretty much is identical especially as a transport. So I am not sure if your asking via the audio attribu...

Also I found out that the sony has priority settings for the digital outs... I had it selected to HDMI vs. Coax, I did not know if this would make a difference or not... I will check it out on the new machine when I receive it.. Also there is like...

Oppo scores a 94 out of 100 in 2 channel transport dutiesSony scores about a 87-88 out of 100However to be fair the oppo had a better power cord as I don't have an adapter yet for the sony type connection, and at first we found out that the 2 coax...

CouvajazzReally? Do you know how many discs it will hold in memory? And will it do Blu ray and sDVD in memory?Thanks!Sucks you gotta pay 100 more for such a basic function though.So I luckily just worked a deal on the S550 for 8 bucks less than th...

Jax2 & Kennyt, Okay it was nearly impossible to find a S350 from sony.. Target, walmart, best buy, circuit city, etc.. Were all sold out nation wide!! That being said I found one new in the box stashed away in a back room that somebody missed ...

Got me thinking, yeah I am going to try the Sony 350 and see what it has, being it does have the coax out on the lower model, the upper has nothing to offer accept a 7.1 output and like a sony link hdmi or something which I have no use... So I rea...

Don't get me wrong the 983 is really good.. Not sure when you had the panasonic however, maybe it has had some speed updates.The oppo takes about 30 seconds from startup on a dvd and goes thru all the B.S. FBI warnings etc... Its fast, but still p...

Jax2I did get to try out pretty extensively the SDVD now on the unit... Its a plus in that column, for the most part any film source is EXCELLENT compared to both the 983 and 980h oppo's... As a matter of fact maybe even a little sharper, no real ...

Okay got the panasonic home... One place on earth had them stocked! They are so popular besides online at a few sources they are backordered virtually everywhere..Its a breeze, Its SUPER fast loading so I can't ask for better, as a matter of fact ...

Jax2 the dmp-bd55k looks nearly perfect... One issue is that the dmp-bd35k the lower model is identical in performance, and can be had much cheaper but drops the damn coax out! Literally it looks as the 100 to 150 more people are willing to spend ...

Thanks, totally understand.. and I agree on many fronts, just figured I need a little more for fun and hobby, got some freebies coming to me, and I own some hi rez displays that have everything already so why not? I will look into both the pioneer...

Buconero117Right, but its toslink only... Needs to have coax digital out for 99% of the users here..

Mapman, Yeah interesting this does not seem to have been covered or come up yet... Good as a 2 channel transport with digital outs and Blu ray that is.
