Well, is it amplifying a digital signal, or is is digitally amplifying an analog signal? (what the heck did I just ask?

I think it just means it counts watts on its fingers.

Mark, the rumored price for the Oppo is around $700.

If it is, they are going to price themselves right out of the market. That's unfortunate.

Not necessarily. Denon and Marantz still manage to sell players at their obscene prices.

I think I'll stick with the Pannies and Holiday Specials.
If it were just the player, maybe I'd spend a little more for that "pride of ownership", but considering I'll have to get a new receiver also...

If it is, they are going to price themselves right out of the market. That's unfortunate. +1. I've been holding out on a BR purchase because I was very interested in Oppo's long-rumored all-in-one player (BR+DVD+SACD). $700 is a lot. I'd rather spend less money and buy a PS3 and a DV-980H. Denon, Marantz, etc may get away with selling very expensive players, but Oppo does not have the brand recognition that they do.

Not necessarily. Denon and Marantz still manage to sell players at their obscene prices. But there is a huge difference. 1) Brand name recognition 2) More importantly, resellers and custom installers who can push these boxes onto customers who "don't care about the detail". ie "build me a system...." customers. $700 is just way to expensive for an Oppo BD player (IMHO)
