Well, the 971 has the better processing chip for visuals, but doesn't have SACD support, the 970 has SACD support but not as good of a video processing chip.

the 981 has the best of both players (it looks like). I guess I am just wondering if SACD is more popular than DVD-A. Or do the audiophiles buy both formats?
