I sent back the LiteOn and was going to buy a Sony 715 until I read a more about it and it sound like it had some limitations of use that may or may not affect me with future use but rather not take a chance. I decided to purchase a Panasonic EH50S and the Oppo 971H
(I guess you use a similar combination)to cover most media play. The Panasonic and Oppo together only cost $4 more than the Sony and from what I have read will give me better results.

I have a Zenith HD520 satellite receiver with HD output on component and DVI. As you know the Oppo does and the Panasonic does not have DVI output.

How do you connect this combination with the 990 to make best use of DVI connection. I need to order more DVI cables from Outlaw but don't want to order to many as cables are not returnable.

I also don't know if there is an easy way to connect my current DVD player that I will probably use for its SACD capability. The Oppo I believe will play DVD-Audio. This will give me 2 sets of analog cables and not enough inputs on the 990. If I need to just pick one or the other then I can switch cables I necessary. I have not started buying either format yet. It appears there are more SACD choices but that DVD-Audio is superior in sound quality (am I correct in this understanding).
