The video is better, and the 2 Ch. playback is better. It is upgradable via CD rom disk loaded into the tray when the DVDA, SACD war is figured out, but already does CD/DVD/HDCD/CDR/CDW/MPEG etc.. I am unsure as to the cost of the upgrade to the progressive scan option which is also available.

I can see them maybe not ever offering SACD, because the thing doesnt have the 5 channel analog outs, but again if it does become the standard, the unit is designed to be upgraded for future formats. As such, I dont see why SACD would ever be ruled out. As for DVD/A, my understanding is that a new board would not be necessary, but that is only my understanding. You may have better, more current information than I do. I sort of got the idea Arcam is making this up as they go along.
