I wish I could see an DVD upscale conversion between the PS3 and the oppo, would be nice to know if there is a noticeable difference. The only PS3's were able to to plac SACD's are the old fat ones, which I have, but I believe the newer ones lack that ability. overall its hard for me to see a great advantage over the PS3, in all aspects of cost, quality, and abilities.
It depends on your system.. I have an all analog system (RCA/XLR)... i have no HDMI at all... For stereo i would like the capability of having balanced stereo out, and would appreciate better D/A chips in the analog section...
This is also the reason i do not own a new apple TV.. i have no way to connect it without buying a HDMI-> component converter, and i have read that those are hit and miss on output quality....
