Up until the Zenith came out I wasn't too intrigued with the 1080i thru component options for a dvd player. I wasn't convinced either and I'm still not that it makes a big difference.
However I need a new progressive dvd player and I can't justify having more than 1 in the rack to the S.O. FWIW, I currently use my Sony 530D non progressive player.
Now with my new audio and VIDEO upgrade this year I'd like to get a new dvd player. I've been really tempted to jump into DVD audio and SACD by getting a Universal but there is a voice in my head telling me I should get the Zenith and upconverting will be worth it more then DVD-A/SACD.
Given that Denon is going to release some new players in the next few months I'm willing to wait on those. The budget <$500 Uni players don't do much for me either.
I do have a DVI HDCP input on my Mits but I've been told that its not something I should use because when the digital signal comes in it gets converted back to analog anyway so I should stick to component.
So in your mind is the Upconverting more valuable to you than SACD/DVD audio? Keep also in mind I only have 1 system so I can't afford to have a music only system. If so then I'd get both But right now I can't justify that plus rack space in my rack is at a premium.
My Budget is maximum of $700 and I'm hearing that Denon will come out with a 2900 type player that MIGHT have DVI and might have the Denon link(not both If I read correctly) so I'm willing to wait for those as the current Denon's are either Too much $$ or don't excite me much(the 2200).
What should I do?
