Thanks for the link.

So the only difference is the DVI, which avoids the two-step A/D and D/A conversions?

If that is so, then other players will follow suit--at least we hope. For example, the 2nd generation Marantz universal player, the DV8400 (I own the DV8300), has a "pure digital output (DVI w/HDCP)," so I assume that if one buys a new DVD player with DVI, one can be fairly certain that--with all other things being equal (progressive scan, 3:2 pulldown, etc), it should have a great picture.

According to Marantz's web site, they are waiting for the DVD group to get back to them before they can release the code for owners to "unlock" and thus activate this DVI output.

I know that has do with fear of copying digital info, but how come there are already players out there with functional DVI outputs?
