Howdy, bear with me. Current, might I add happy 950 owner! Mulling the 990/7500 purchase.

One thing I'm trying to figure out, if I got the 990, used it for video switching, and got the Oppo upconverting dvd player, and attached them via dvi, but then sent video to my Panasonic tube tv via component, would the signal still be upconverted? It seems like it should be, but I'm not sure... Plus, would there be any issues like the composite/s-video that I've read about?

And, is anyone running the 990/7500 via xlr and noticing a total silence? This would be another sales point for me, as the current 950 is connected to a B&K 5000 which has so much buzz. Hoping the newer units would mate oh so quietly.

Cheers, thanx, and looking forward to a new relationship with better stuff!!!
