Yes, I've been looking at upgrading my receiver, as it doesn't handle HDMI of any sorts, and the analog audio work-around for my Blu-ray player throws everything else out of whack. The rave reviews the Oppo player has been getting has made my look at the Denon 2310 since it has the same scaler chip, though I realize that doesn't necessarily mean video performance will be equal to the Oppo's.

Let us know how well the Denon handles the upscaling.
