I love it so far. After a firmware update--a painless and quick process--it still won't play 'Sunshine', and it won't decode DD THD to the analog outputs*, but other than that, I'm happy. While I understand that many purchasers are quite frustrated with its inability to decode/send some high-rez sountracks along the digital-audio feed, I bought it to be able to see HDs and BDs with one machine while consuming only one set of my preamp's 6-channel inputs, and it does that very well.

BTW, I understand that the next update will make it 1.1-compliant; we'll see. :-)

* which means it won't play 1.5% of the hi-def discs I own
