renov8r - response of the day! One can surmise (by Gonk's absence, if nothing else) that the dreaded Asian-based unit is in beta testing -contrast this, however, with, I don't know, Oppo's approach to beta testing - I know that when I was waiting on the BDP-83 there was what amounted to a beta forum where issues, kudos, wishes, etc. were on display for all to see - I don't think that approach hurt Oppo one little bit...
