I prefer my BDP51fd to the DV58av for 2 channel analog playback though. Yes, it's still slow after FW upgrading but within a reasonable loading time. I am looking to acquire the BDP 09 once the price goes south by the end of the year or next year.

I think the Lessloss DFPC would go very well with this player. Spend the rest on good ic's or hdmi. You could also have the player modified/upgraded and may have yourself a world class player. A $1000 modification could go a long ways with the Oppo but of course this is not everyones cup of tea. I am going the upgrade route with the Oppo.
