Hmmm...would I buythe 45A again? In a heartbeat
Using its internal progresive scan instead of my TV's(which kicks ass to begin with) is just awesome. It reads layers a lot faster then our 05's(no biggie) and is quieter overall. I love it! But I'm holding on to my DV-05 as many people, including ISF tech people I have spoken with, still say its one of the better Interlaced players out there
I doubt you'd be unhappy with the 45A, You'd probably love it. Not to mention it plays SACD's and DVD audio. Did I mention it makes for a kick ass CD player? CD's sound great thru the digital coax output.
If you get it, get back to me and give your opinion. Laters!
