Looks like many inexpensive really good products are coming out. The digital Panasonic receiver, the Panasonic DVD players (F-85) and the recording arts getting better and better Mic preamps, and some algorythums in extream high bit PCM (64 bit/1 meg).Just open some thoughts to it all. BTW the F-85 beats my best CD transport and standalone dac hands down on redbook. It will play DVD-A and is progressive scan. Circuit city price, 131 bucks
