Highly Ranked

I am not disputing the pricing of this unit, it is ultra high-end, no question about that. You need both Fords and Ferraris in this world.

I just wonder if all those extra high end power regulators and circuits will actually make a difference in the end.

Isn't the signal supposed to be digital with HDMI? Meaning, exactly equal to what is being read on the disc, transmitted to the TV?

I mean, 0 or 1, you either have it or you don't. I could understand those kind of units better when we were analog tbh...

If vibration was an issue, I'm sure a simple read ahead buffer would fix occasional errors. And as you say, Blu Ray is digital virtually from end to end except for someout analogue audio outputs. The claims made of this player sound like audio/videophile nonsense.

I agree greg - this thing is sending digital data. The amp is converting it to analog. What a waste - I love when people blow money on overpriced nonsense.
