What I want from my next upgrade is the best possible bluray picture performance to my Kuro Plasma and I would need the HD audio to be decoded by the player and sent via LPCM to my Denon AVCA11XVA amp.
If I had a Kuro plasma, I would go for either the Pioneer BDP-LX91 or a Sony BDP-S5000ES.
JohnHolmes:
The other player on my radar is the Sony S760 which I believe has superb
picture quality but there again is more expensive than the 370. I'm in
no rush right now to upgrade and I think I will probably wait until
Christmas time. Hopefully the Oppo and the S760 will come down in price
a little by then.
The S-370 demoted the S-760 to 4****, for both picture and sound quality, so this would quite frankly be a pointless option.
