RockOn4Klipsch Posted January 26, 2009 Share Posted January 26, 2009 I'm in the market to sell my ps3 and get a new BR player with analog outs. Shuold I wait for the oppo or get the samsung 2550, I was holding off on the samsung as it didn't decode DTS MA, but now it does. The Oppo sounds nice but I have no SACDs or DVDA discs which is probably not something I want to get involved in. So If it will be a pure DVD player and an occasional CD player which would be your choice? Is there much of a difference in the upscaling feature between the HQV processor in the samsung and the Anchor Bay chip in the Oppo? Cheaper would be better , so I'm leaning toward the sammy, load times are not a huge issue as I understand that it takes a certain amount of time to access 50 gigs of material on the BR disc vs the 4.7gigs on a dvd. Maybe I say this because i'm spoiled fromhaving the PS3. Anyways weigh in and let me know what you think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wuzzzer Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 Since you'll be using the analog outs you'll want to make sure the DACs in whatever you're buying are decent. From what they've made in the past, I would imagine that the Oppo would win that war against the Samsung. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hifi jim Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 Check out the Pioneer BDP-51FD. Just installed one for my brother and prefer it to my Samsung BDP-1400. The Pioneer sports Wolfson DAC's and decodes all the codecs internally for 5.1 analog output. Reasonably fast load times and a really nice picture and sound. Found on eBay for $350 delivered.

IndyKlipschFan Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 Why not the Sony 550? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RockOn4Klipsch Posted January 29, 2009 Author Share Posted January 29, 2009 I'm not against the Panny 55 , the sony 550 or the samsung 2550 but to save the sapce of saying this vs this vs this I just between these 2 as the other standalone BDPs are relative in cost and I believe performance. I'm looking for something to replace my PS3 with, I'm looking for something with analog outs to go with the new processor. Will i get the same audio performance out of all of them. the Samsung uses ESS tech DACs which i read are found in krelly equipments, wolfson in the panny, no idea on the sony. anythoughts?
