Cary DVD 8? Yes/No



Does anyone have experience with the new Cary DVD 8?

Build looks good, but I don't know how it sounds (& plays DVDs).
I have no way to audition it so I have to purchase it blindly... oops, I mean deafly...I mean both.

The price is nice at $1200 new, but how good is it.
Of course red book cd playback is of utmost importance, and movie viewing too.

There were no internal pictures of the oppo 970 at oppodigital.com. What really gives the unit away as being an oppo is the remote. It is unlike any cary remote. It is exactly like my oppo 970 remote and my friend's oppo remote (971)

It looks to me that the only differences are:
Cary has better case work.
Cary removed the card reader.
Cary shielded the PS, but who knows if its different under the sheilding. It is the same size so they couldn't have done much if anything.
Msf,

I would be real curious to hear your comments on the 970's sound playing CDs.

I'd be especially interested on how it compares to your cdp.
