| Universal Players that do not convert DSD to PCM? As an owner of the Onkyo sp 1000..I can honestly say that the pcm conversion makes no difference as this player has the best sa-cd performance I have heard from a 2.5k or less player.Don't believe the hype imo.Greg | |

| Marantz DV-9500: Anyone Listened to it or Bought? Lanny, if your sp 1000 is only slightly better for video to the Pioneer, this must mean that your not even using the hdmi upconversion on the Onkyo...correct?There are many people waiting for a good deal on the sp 1000 and the only other one I hav... | |

| Are the Denons the Best Universals to Mod? Tvad, EVS is also interested in modding the Onkyo, but the thing is, Onkyo sp 1000 owners are in no hurry to have the universal modded as it sounds musical and balanced in stock form.Suprisingly so imo.Greg | |
