Surfaday,

I had the 563a for a short time in August, I returned it because the BM x-over in the player I thought was to high. Just read this post http://www.hometheaterforum.com/htforum/showthread.php?s=&threadid=163895 yesterday, might be of some interest to you. That said, people with analog BM in their AVR or who have added an ICBM seem to be pretty happy with this player. Best Buy carries this player, so with their great return policy, you have 30 days to try it out for yourself with no cost to you, unlike CompUSA that charges an open box fee.
