I have to say I thought the quality was better. But I feel that way after certain dvd's are played. It's so damm subjective, the overall quality seems better. I am relucltant to say - claim that, as it's not a WOW what a difference. On the amp side, I can say that. The picture quality seems better, maybe it's phycosymetic ( I KNOW I spelled that word wrong)
