Actually I hope emotiva cdp should also get an upgrade to include usb/ hdd playback, or a digital input. Or maybe emotiva should jump into separate dac.
@suri - yeah after i read my own post even i was thining i should just pick up the emotiva. thanks. The PS3 i probably won't get. I am not much of a gamer.
@suprateep - thanks, i do think i'll tend towards the emotiva
@rallynut - that is a useful point, but i know i will definitely get blu-ray also soon. streaming and all will still be compressed at least for some time to come. i am finicky about video quality. i mean there's still no lossless streaming audio, so lossless streaming HD video is going to take some time!
@thekinge - hey man, thanks for the offer, but a lot of people have already 'booked' the one you're selling on your thread if i recall correctly. And in case I felt like the CD6003 my wife is still in singapore so i could just make a phone call....but it's the emotiva that attracts me
@gobble - t-shirts i don't know but mein kampf definitely. i've seen it everywhere. someone even gifted me a copy. ever since i was in school i've been seeing it everywhere.
@venkatcr - my budget is in the 15k range venkat, i don't think an HTPC will come in that. And anyway, i am not really one for getting my hands mess with a PC. I am much more of a 'pop the disc in and watch/listen' type.
Totally OT but I've seen at least 5 of my friends buying Mein Kampf just out of hype and never ever actually read the book completely. I even doubt that if they actually learn anything about Hitler from that book.

But remember, in EU they are actively programmed to be averse to it through schooling and hence the book is hidden out of view
so psychotropic will live with the emotiva-
and wifey will use the (unused) money to buy that quintessential souvenir from singapore - "flower dipped in real gold"
@psychotropic - you still have time to call wife and tell her not to buy "flower dipped in real gold"
psychotropic, If it is going to help, I have ordered a Oppo BDP-83 for my friend in Dubai and is expected to be delivered by end of June. The DAC section in Oppo-83 and 80 are similar. I will be doing a shootout between the Emotiva & Oppo sometime in first or second week of July. If you can wait until then, you will have an easier decision to make
Hi TheKinge,
Where you able to do this shootout between the Oppp-83 and Emotiva?
