DVI output of a cheap DVD player always same ??

As you probably all know there is the Bravo DVD player, which is the cheapest DVD player with DVI output, and you have a Denon tope model DVD player (very expensive) also with a DVI player.

If you connect this cheap & expensive player with a decent video projector with a DVI cable connected would you see the difference or not ??
As DVI does not make any conversions, and is as pure as the original signal, or am I wrong ??

Aroc is right.. you can read about it on avsforum, but the DVI output of the Bravo is amazing but it has other quirks. The bravo can scale to 780p and 1080i.

The Denon would be much better than the Bravo if you used any other output other than DVI (component, SVHS, etc)

I've heard that the sound of the Bravo leaves a lot to be desired.

Hi Cytocycle,

Ofcourse I know that the Denon will better than the Bravo if you not use DVI.
But the question was whether the Denon DVI output has a better quality compare to Bravo DVI output ???

Rademaker,

The DVI output of the Bravo is more grainy compared to the Denon both running at 720P. The sound don't compare but that's expected when comparing a $200 unit to a $2000 unit.

As experienced in audio, not all transports are the same, even though they are all putting out theoritically the same PCM bitstream.

The same could be said about video, not all DVI's are the same, obviuosly.

Of course, these all are subject to what are are there in your signal chain- just like audio.
