Pros
- Excellent DVD video upconverting using HDMI and Faroudja DCDi processing.
- Plays almost every disc available except for blu-rays.
- Fast load times for DVDs and CDs.
- Nice build quality with gold plated rear jacks and aluminum face plate.
- Great sound quality for CDs, SACDs, and DVD-Audio.
- Built in Dolby Digital, DTS, SACD, and DVD-A multi-channel decoders with bass management.
- Good value especially if you can get it for about $100 on clearance.
- Pure audio mode which shuts down front panel display and video circuitry for absolute clean music listening.
Cons
- No distance compensation or DSD bitstream output for SACD.
- Even with the 2MB buffer, still has a slight pause on DVD-Video disc layer change.
