Jerry Deputy Gunslinger Registered: 12/30/05 Posts: 2 Loc: Phoenix, Arizona	Hello... Has anyone had any experience and an opinion about the new Samsung DVD HD-950 upconverting player w/ sacd and dvd audio. I'll be using it with the new Outlaw 1070, Mitsubishi 60" dlp tv and deftech speakers. Thanks and Happy New Year. Jerry

The 971 uses DVI which is perfect for my 1070. Check out their website. A review or two has their DVD's rated higher than units costing much, much more. _________________________ Joe

I have the 1070, the Oppo 971, a Pioneer 1140 and DefTech speakers...Mythos 6's for L/R and a Mythos 7 for C. I have Super 8 sub from Orb Audio. I put Mirage ceiling speakers in the rear for 5.1 _________________________ Joe

gonk Desperado Registered: 03/21/01 Posts: 14054 Loc: Memphis, TN USA	This is true. The rumors are that it'll be called the 981HD, that it'll have HDMI output and support for both DVD-Audio and SACD (like the 970HD) as well as Faroudja processing (like the 971H). There's no definitive word on when it'll arrive, but I'll definitely be considering it as a replacement for the combination of 971H and Yamaha DVD-S1500 that I'm using currently. _________________________ gonk HT Basics \| HDMI FAQ \| Pics \| Remote Files \| Art Show Reviews: Index \| 990 \| speakers \| BDP-93
