A friend of mine has the Oppo and I've enjoyed watching movies through it on numerous occasions. The thing I like most about it is the fact that Oppo gives constant firmware upgrades whenever there is a problem. Granted, if you don't use the DVI connection then all bets are off. It's an average player at best. I heard DVDA through it for the first time last week (Steely Dan) and it sounded pretty good. It'd probably sound great to most people, but I don't like 5.1 channel music.
