Well that's great and all (my pre/pro also has HQV), but then you're basically paying $1200 for something that you are using at the level of a $200 HD-A3 since you will be outputting at 1080i for the video. Again, this is ripoff territory. What exactly are you getting for the extra money here? Cheaper players have better upconversion and the same "transport" bitstreaming of audio if you choose. Cheaper players have HQV builtin so you don't need an expensive receiver alongside. Cheaper players have builtin decoders so you can get full quality with full interactivity.
Indulge me, how is this player in any way better than the $499 Panasonic DMP-BD30? Because it has "Denon" stamped on it? Pay over double for a name? Remove video processors that improve quality, increase the price, and call it a "transport?" Sounds like a snow job IMO.
