Actually....why would anyone count on any of the new hi res players to be good for redbook.
The Sony and Pioneer Elite players do not even playback cd...only dvd...with the Sony up scaling sd dvd to 1080p supposedly.

That leaves the Samsung Blu Ray player and Toshiba hd dvd player as the only players even capable of even playing cd's.
And who is going to trust Toshiba or Samsung to even deliver a great hi res player, let alone a cd player.
Not me.
The only player announced with cd/sa-cd/1080p, as well as the ability to playback future 7.1 lossless and uncompressed audio...is the PS3.

Ironic as it is, not one of the other players from either format will have hdmi 1.3 or 7.1 built in decoders and analog outs.
Players from both formats will all be lacking features that have been touted for many months, and second generation players will all be better than these.

With regards to the Sony player....I smell some multi channel 192/24 audio only discs on the horizon....and not sa-cd/dvd-a.
