Checked out Onkyo DV-SP1000 on forums.klipsch, Willland.
It looks like a very nice Unit. The claim on forums.klipsch
is that it will not do HD DVD. I don't know if this is true
or not. If it is then it will not do Multi-Channel HD DVD
audio, nor will it Downmix these to two Channels. I am still amazed at how such Players can still wring out even
more performance out of 2 Channel Redbook CD. Still think
that 2 Channel SACD/HD DVD Audio sounds worse than CD.
Probably why the guy in forums.klipsch moved his HD DVD
Player. I think that the Manufacturers tried compensating
by utilizing Multi-Channel SACD, and Multi-Channel HD DVD
Audio. Downmixing these to 2 Channel,IMHO, set a whole new
Standard when done correctly. No-one even seems to be aware, or there would be more Audiophiles familiar with this. Could be the HD Multi-Channel Downloads completely
blotted these Disks into oblivion, sad!
