    polksda or Wingnut, have you had a chance to review SACD/DVD-A sound of this player? tia!
    I am sorry, I have no opinion on the matter. I am sure you do. So, don't mind me, I just want to talk audio and pie.

    Yes I actually have . The SACD and DVD Audio on this baby is superior to the Denon 2910 for sure by a noticeable difference. I am hearing more detail, clarity and tighter bass. I was really blown away by the audio all around. Especially the soundstage. It just sounded more 'real'. Even my movies seem to sound better although I don't know how that can be since my P-965 is just decoding bits sent from the 79 avi but I swear it's true :p

    I seriously looked at the Onkyo when I was shopping for Universal players, and it was just too new for any solid data at that time. I think it's a solid piece from what I have subsequently read, and it's not common which makes me like it even more.
    CTC BBQ Amplifier, Sonic Frontiers Line3 Pre-Amplifier and Wadia 581 SACD player. Speakers? Always changing but for now, Mission Argonauts I picked up for $50 bucks, mint.

    This thing is a gem. I haven't done a whole lot of SACD/DVD-A listening, as I've been completely enamored with watching DVDs. There's a level of clarity and color accuracy that I've not seen before. You can tell when you start getting a "3D" appearance in films that something is being done right. I'm going back and rewatching DVDs that I've had forever; the player gives movies new life.

    Last night I watched a bunch of Nero Wolfe episodes and Kelly's Heroes. Right now I'm watching Star Wars. Hard to believe that this movie is over 28 years old. :eek:
