Yup, The DV-980H will play CD, DVD, DVD-A and SACD.
It will upconvert video up to 1080p. It will output
full-bandwidth DVD-A, DSD and, optionally,
DSD-converted-to-PCM via HDMI. It has multichannel
analog outputs as well as coax and TOSlink digital
outputs. It sells for $170. And it works.


If only it offered HD as well...


The the question becomes which one? Blu-Ray or HD-DVD? As
long as Blu-Ray players remain at the $500 price-point
and the combo players are $1000, I suspect that HD-DVD
will remain the leader in sales.


There are about 5 million Blu Ray players already sold, in the form of PS-3
game units.
