I, too, would like to know this information. Unfortunately, it seems Engadget is more interested in raking Toshiba over the coals because it doesn't have a Blu-ray logo on the front.
I think the current cream of the crop for up converters is the Toshiba HD-XA2, so if the XD does a better job than the XA2, that is quite an accomplishment.

UnnDunn, I think you're right in general, but this particular article is nothing of the sort, and we should give them credit for changing their tack.
After the first sentence, they truly do "set [that] all aside", and actually evaluate the product for what it tries to be.
