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

I have a Denon 2200 that I use in the bedroom and have always been very impressed with the DVD picture quality and sound, I always thought even without upscaling it was a match for my old 3910, it uses the Silicon Image PureProgressive (SiL504) Decoding Engine that was supposed to be superior to the DCDi by Faroudja. From what I've read it never got widely used due to compatability issues and cost.
That said, I'm not sure you would get a better picture from the Oppo, but it certainly is a bargain.
