I was fairly convinced I was gonna get the Denon 1930 for use on my 507 but then I started reading reviews of the Oppo 981 and now im kinda stuck again.
What would you lot recommend ?

Hello Roy,
Got myself the Denon for Christmas this year and i'm very pleased with the picture and sound. Only played LOTR so far but the colours and sharpness are amazing. I dont have anything to compare against as i've only had the TV for a month but im well pleased so far.
Only way to really know is to see them working in the flesh I think.
Cheers
Chris.
Hi there, its really the OPPO I'm interested in and the question is whether my Hitachi will accept an up-scaled output from this unit through its DVI input.Isn't there some sort of protection on HDMI outputs which might stop me using them?
Is your Hitachi's DVI input HDCP compliant? Anyhow an HDMI > DVI lead (or HDMI > HDMI with HDMI/DVI adaptor) should work fine.
I have replaced an Arcam DVD and a DVDO deinterlacer with a 981.
Yes but the Arcam and DVDO are no duffers
I want to avoid double scaling, so which one would you chose to feed a Pioneer 427?
1) Oppo DV-970HD outputing 576i
2) Oppo DV-981HD outputing 576p
Cost is not an option. Is macro blocking really a big issue with the 981? I'm presuming that the Pioneer has a better scaler then the Oppo. If I moved up to a Denon 2930 and still output at 576p would I gain much, apart from full PAL support and no macro-blocking?
