Hey Alan,

In case you didn’t get the memo, Oppo just released a firmware update a couple weeks ago for the 970. If you didn’t notice, SACD playback via HDMI would sorta pause between tracks. The firmware took care of that, plus some other minor tweaks.

I agree with Alan with these Oppo’s. It’s hard to believe they do what they do for what they cost…..say that ten times real fast. Plus, their customer support is outstanding.
