See my signiture for my pending order from Outlaw!

Im loading up the saddle after 15 years of child rearing. Daddy getting some new toys!

My multidisc Sony DVD is a nice unit but not SACD/DVD-A ready. The OPPO DV-970HD looks like a nice deal.

Im thinking the Sony unit is good for the kids, the V INC Bravo D1 good for more critical viewing and the new OPPO DV-970HD for cd,DVD-A and SACD listening. Given the ever changing landscape of players and my dwindling funds left over after buying everything this month, I was wondering if anyone can recommend another choice.

Perhaps the Oppo alone instead of the Bravo would suffice. My Loewe 38' Aconda does not accpet DVI or HDMI so anymore video than the Bravo would be llost. I am going in thru Component. The Aconda has a VGA input but I can only find a DVI-VGA converter for $500 and perhaps this is all silly given its a 38' tube. Picture is spectacular as it is!

Gonk, I see you have an Oppo unit but use a Yamaha for listening.

The New less expensive Oppo as a universal unit seems like a great disposable unit until the next break through product comes along. At $149, this is easy for now. Going $1400 for a denon unit is not good for me at this time, nor can I see any great benefit.

I'll spend more for balanced cables than for an Oppo! Crazy man, just crazy!

WAF is good right now, I just don't want to push it!

Any thoughts, impressions, recommendations, trails and tribulations, regressions, and creations????

Thanks!
