It seems quite affordable and might bridge the gap of a video scaler and would add more hdmi inputs for the future... I read up a little on it and am not sure if it is worth it or not. It seems a lot of people have gotten them to much success. stuck between a rock and a hard place. anyone have experience?
anyone with a classe pre consider the DVDO edge?

I have had DVDO products in the past and have been pretty happy with them. What exactly are you trying to accomplish?
If its mainly HDMI inputs I would get a switcher (5x1) from monoprice for $35.00. HDMI 1.4 is around the corning so investing in a high priced component for switching may not be the best idea.
If you are mainly concerned with DVD upconversion quality then I would buy the Oppo since if has the Edge video processing built in.
I you are looking to improve lots of different SD sources then it may be worth while to go for the edge.- Bottom

I have the Edge and run my cable signal through it...I like it and think it makes a difference. I wouldn't recomend it for Nolan as the Pioneer's have great upscalers and with a 60 it isn't going to make that much difference, but with the 119" screen I find the SD TV as well as 720p/1080i looks a lot better on the big screen (through my JVC Rs2)with the Edge in place. They are pretty reasonable these days...check with AVS, they gave me a very good deal on mine.- Bottom

DVDO builds good equipment but for what I have heard the Edge is not so "great".
@KahunaCanuck
well I have a 60" Kuro and with my Pioneer lx91/09 and Denon3800bd all with the SSP800 and a Hdmi cable to the Kuro I don't will "break" the signal with a DVDO Edge between my gears..
With a beamer the "big brother 50pro and sofware" make sure the difference but what the Ege give you is not a big improvement....
The HDMI "standard" will change to fast for the market and for a consumer is a run over the 100meters with Ben Johson.
A lot of another good products are available (cinemateq, pixelmagicsistem(was Crystalio), Lumagenspatz....) but almost all of these brands go bankrupt because the market changes so fast !!!
A consumer buys a new scaler from $.4000~ every 6 months - 1 year !
-->(in addition to all the sources that must be compatible..)

I called AVS based on this recommendation and was told that I was considering too many changes at one time. That I should just wait until after the projector is installed and see what I think.
I like the honesty they provided. That it wasn't just about making a quick sale. They were more expensive than amazon though...I'm just sittin here watchin the wheels go round and round...- Bottom
