Man the Oppo is sweet and so is the price. I see on audiogon that they are taking the Oppo 970 and upgrading it and selling it for $1095.00! At this point in time I'll stick with my $149.00 version as it does more and sounds as good as my Nad HDCD 542 & NAD DVD T534 combined and I like NAD products. Over the years I've probably spent as much on audio & video magazines as I have gear! Damn those reviews, they just keep making it harder for me to put that money in my retirement fund...
