I was thinking of picking up a new player and heard the 790 was good, and received a favorable review actually saying the PQ was some better than Oppo. However, customer reviews for the 790 on Amazon were not so good, main complaint was the Wyfi not working well in one fashion or another. This was an important issue as it seemed a firmware update was in order for the 790 to work properly, so buyers were in a hard spot. Analog sound like yourself is not an issue so I was hoping for something cheaper than Oppo. Oppo on the other hand held a 4.8 rating based on 249 customer reviews. I still haven't bought a new one yet, still milking the Samsung BDP-1200, it's not in a HT set up though.
