Kman,
The Onkyo sp 1000 and Integra dps 10.5 seem to be the same player except the 10.5 outputs upconverted video from composite and s video external source, has bnc component, and a 3 year warranty for 500.00 more.
If you go to the Integra site, you will see that the internals and case look exactly the same except for the name Integra on the face and torridal transformer.
It is the sp 1000 that is coming up roses against the 5900,3910,Pioneer 59avi and Marantz 9500 in those german and French reveiws.
Apparently, the 1000 sells for around 5k anywhere over seas, were the Denon,Pioneer and Marantz sell for about the same as the U.S.
The sp 1000 has external upconversion and bnc connectors on all models except the U.S. and Canadien models.
