I am by no means an audiophile or videophile. In fact, I am just putting together my first entertainment system of substance. I plan on a Denon AVR 3805 and axiom all the way around. Regarding the DVD/CD player I have had a harder time deciding. I had planned on sticking with Denon. However, someone mentioned that the "upconversion" to a HD format is worthwhile. Although I wonder how much difference it makes since the origional media is not HD. But here is the source of my quandry. A samsung of all things. The DVD HD941 has several interesting features.
1. Faroudja DCDi
2. SACD, DVD audio, plus all other expected formats
3. Upconverion of DVD to HD(with noted qualifiers)
4. Street price of $240

The only feature that I might wish for is the 5 disk changer.
Of course, I wonder how the video and audio quality really compare.
I'd love to hear any thoughts about this....or any ideas of which universal dvd really has it all including quality.
