Oppo is a great product, I have one.

However, I would really suggest you jump into High-def players, either blu-ray, or HD-DVD, completely a different, new perspective, sound and video wise. I have a PS3, and really enjoy playing blu-ray movies I rent through Netflix (I have also purchased three). Their lossless PCM via direct path is awesome! Yet, many people feel like they have to wait until this high-def war settles, but it does not seem even close. Besides, life is too short...
