Does such a machine exist?
I'd say only the Denon DVD-BD3800CI matches the XA2 on DVD upconversion:
Denon USA | DVD-3800BDCI

Yet, despite its high pricetag, the Denon doesn't match the upcoming Panasonic BD50 in featureset for Blu-ray movies - but the Panasonic's DVD upconversion, if it remains the same as the BD30, is utter shite compared to the XA2. Amazing that you can release a $1999 machine and get bested by a $599 one three months later.
