yes... listening position.

I remember hearing that as well. Their business model was to sell for a loss and make up for it in games and accessories which they were apparently making a killing on. Didn't the first PS3s also support SACDs? Not the VERY first... but some PS3 units did(also had more meory slots) and That is the unit I had. when I finally sold it and replaced it with my oppo93, I had 10 buyers wanting it sight unseen.

hdmi on both my systems compared... big difference in my case very similar to if not more than the pictures show above.

+1 for MC... I have a p5 and 103r, I am sure there are much better set ups out there but I am happy.

I came from years of PS3 use, I was completeky blown away that there could be that much difference between to digital devices... BUT THERE IS

PS3 sucks... it can't lick the balls of an Oppo unit.

service mode... I used that when I did mine.

the Oppo blows the PS3 out of the water

you can run four channels on a five channel amp... you can also use two two channel amps. there is little that can not be done. if you wait till the end of the year, many times emotiva goes on further discount... OR you can buy secondary market.

Emotiva's are on sale right now!

I had a SACD four controller version of the PS3 that I used for years... it works perfectly well. I have a better player now.

God Speed DB... sorely missed.

thank god

Image ones are fantastic... DEEP sound and full range but they are ON EAR, not over ear. the M40's look interesting.... otherwise get

that's a fairly good price... congrates.

no one points theirs slightly behind the LP?

I got those same underwares.

the 93 has analog outs also.

My experience with an elite based amplifier(ICE based SC35, very different from yours) and heritage line is that the SACD format and the 5.1 music recordings are about the best you can get in a disc format that is non analog. SACD is a tad better than a greatly mastered CD presentation(I find that many CD's playback is nearly unlistenable)and a 5. disc is far superior to a sacd as far as my limited collection of both those formats goes. the surround sound function does seem to add quite a bit of soundstage, but it's still mastering dependent as to how good it is during playback. the two sacd players I have had for comparrison are only the PS3 and the Oppo 93.

I have with an older SC...35(ICE based). yeah, pretty good results. anything else?

we have randy hansen now that Jimi is gone.

source material or amp set up is the issue

of all the carzy reasons to get a BD player... Zep. But honestly, as stated above... the 93 Oppo would be justr the ticket. it's a wonderful performer to the point that you might not want to replace some of your DVD's with BD's If you want to see how good Bluray is, get an Oppo 93 and the BD version of Jaws... :/thread

I went from a PS3 with sacd capabilities to an Oppo 93, there was NO comparison. the oppo blows the soni away in every capacity except game play/

WOW... beautiful. lets see the outside.
