In Reply to: Poor is relative.... posted by oscar on June 9, 2004 at 18:09:14:
Here's my question: what's wrong with having a dedicated player for audio (with no video) and a dedicated player for video (with HomeTheater audio)? Are people that cheap?Just because a manufacturer is well respected in audio doesn't mean they'll do a respectable job in the video department. Audio engineers and designers can't always make the transition to video designing and do it well (the same is true with video-to-audio designers). There is a learning curve and many of them have a healthy climb ahead.
Below is a link to the Secrets site. They mostly deal with video in the shootout and, as you will see from the link, High End in audio may not mean High End in video.
