I've been frequenting those 'other forums' and it's really amazing (to me, at least) how so many of them get into real hissy fits about whether this or that player will or won't output this or that audio codec. I'll be willing to bet that these same people couldn't care less about SACD or even DVD-A. In any event, the new Panasonic BD30 seems to be giving these people grief because it doesn't decode Dolby True HD or DTS-HD Master Audio internally, and it's a deal-breaker for some of them. (Not for me, though.) But I'm now wondering if I should be concerned that the unit utilizes a BD drive designed for notebooks rather than a desktop-sized drive.As for PQ, it supposedly has some kind of new circuit or processor to enhance the video. It's been getting very high marks from the couple of online reviews I've seen, though I think c-net says it's really not that much better than other good units. Still, it looks like a player worth investigating.
I frankly couldn't care less about the special features enabled by Profile 1.1, so it's not for that reason that I would be considering the BD30. From what I've read so far, the new Pioneer 95FD seems to be the BD player to get (at least for now), and I would probably jump on it if it weren't so pricey.
