Check out prices on interconnects before you buy. You easily could spend more on a run of the mill HDMI interconnect than the player cost. Most people put the player on the rack and then run the video output to the projector 10-15 feet away. That's a lot of interconnect (easily $250 or more). I just helped a friend hook up his Mitsubishi DLP projector and listened to him bitch at the cost of HDMI cables vs component video.
Marantz DV8400 or Arcam DV79
I have a choice between a Marantz DV8400 (with SDI output to my Lumagen processor) or an Arcam DV79 (with HDMI out). Does anybody have a view on which would be better for video? Which would be the best cd transport (feeding into a modified Bel Canto DAC2?
Thanks for your help.
