My Toshiba A1 HD DVD player does an excellent job of upconversion and, even without the HD DVD capability, I'd heartily recommend it or the other Tosh HD DVD players for that feature alone (and the outstanding audio quality).

However, contrary to Gonk's post, none of the 1st or 2nd gen Toshiba HD DVD players play DVD-A or SACD.

A co-worker and I are planning to try this player out with a new 60" Sony SXRD probably this weekend.

Presumably gonk was going to write about his opinion in this thread. Gonk: Please let us know your thoughts on this combo, which, I believe was 981 with 60 inch Sony SXRD.

smile Thanks.

I intended for my post to read that you had to get the Denon ("both" referring to the 2930 and 3930) if you wanted DVD-A and SACD, since none of the HD disc players support both formats - Panasonic's Blu-ray player will to DVD-A and the PS3 will do SACD, but that's about it.

I thought it was something like that, Gonk. I've learned to rely on your accuracy over the years. smile (Nice to see you're still making a vital contribution here. I don't get by too often these days.)

I did want to jump in, however, in case someone ran out to get an HD DVD player and might be disappointed.
