"Best" multichannel universal player right now?

"Best" as in what's the best at the "knee of the curve" at the moment? Looking for 1080p, excellent video processing (no artifacts, excellent scaling) and as importantly excellent 2 channel and multichannel SACD and DVD-A. HDMI 1.3 a definite asset, as is digital out.

I bought one for a driving simulator and tried it for movies and music after selling the denon. It is not bad. How does the oppo compare to the Sony with hdmi you recenty auditioned?

i read a review that the oppo 83 can't fast forward on dvds--i.e. it does so incredibly slowly.

is this true?

Kal, Just checked the last 4 issues.

I found short mentions of the Sony in the July issue and again in the "Best of" in October. Did I miss something more in-depth?

Thanks.
