>>I don't get Bridgman's comment that it's ugly. It's very thin and streamlined looking, only 1.5 inches thick.
Sorry, I was thinking of the remote -- and, in fairness, it was the combination of Sony, Oppo and Sherwood remotes together on the table that looked ugly as a set.
Agree that the player itself looks very sleek.
My dim understanding is that the 971 was the original, the 970 added superior audio (SACD etc...) but dropped the Faroujda processor, and the 981 combined the better audio from the 970 with the Faroujda video from the 971 but dropped a couple of output connectors.
Does this sound about right ?
