It's a panasonic unit under the skin. Expensive boutique player but one of the best...no chroma bugs (no panasonics have the chroma problem). I can't comment on the audio quality...but for the cost, I'm not sure that's the best strategic move. Then again, maybe it is.I did recently get a panasonic rp-91 for $500 (online) and it is a fantastic video player. It still uses the genesis chip set, the new faroudja is supposed to be a better deinterlacer and will be in some players soon (those players may have the chroma problem though). Still it hardly combs. The rp-91 doesn't make a great transport in my opinion (at least in my system).
