Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Home Theater Oppo DV-970 vs DV-981

Why oh why did I read this thread?

I'm trying to make a decision on getting a CD player for my 2 channel system. One option is move my Denon 2200 to 2 channel (which is very good IMHO). Then I can get an Oppo for DVDs. The only question is how good is the audio portion of the Oppo players? I know video is very good but I'm wondering if the DVDA and SACD will be on par w/ my Denon. Close would be good enough, seeing as I only use multichannel sparinly.

I should note that I also have a PS3 for Blu Ray use so I've got an option for higher res DVDs. I just don't want to use their funky interface everytime I pull up a DVD.
