I've been meaning to ask a similar question. Since Oppo upscales to 1080p...and...since my Sony 60 inch SXRD will play 1080p...and since blu ray is at 1080p, the question is: Will there be any improvement (over Oppo 1080p--> SXRD 1080p) if going to blu ray--> SXRD.

I understand that hdmi 1.3 will afford 5.1 (or later 7.1) to the TV, about which I don't care.

This may be an elementary question, but it has been plaguing me. TIA
