[SurroundSound] Re: Success with WYWH 35th Anniversary Bluray?

Unfortunately, I wouldn't know much about other BD players since I've
been focused on acquiring a BDP-83/93 for some time and haven't done
much research on other players. Getting a player without Cinavia is a
real concern however. I'm glad to hear the BDP-93 doesn't have it. My
understanding is that new players must have Cinavia if they begin
production in 2011. I wonder if that means the new BDP-95 will be in
that category.

The 93 plays every disc I've thrown at it so far. BD-R, BD-RE DL, DVD
+RW, DVD+R DL, and of course retail BD, SACD & DVD-A.

I previously had a Denon that didn't play watermarked discs so it's
nice to have that ability, and I can now play DSD from SACD to my
Denon AVR.
