One reviewer had the 900 and its smaller sibling the 800, and compared their video processing abilities vs. the Sony TV they were hooked up to. The 900 was better than the 800, and the Sony was better than both. He put the player on Source Direct and let the Sony do the processing, which is what I do with my Elites.
I think that, were I to need a player the 900 would be it, but there is the Panasonic UB9000 at lesser cost. I don't stream or play digital files, so maybe the Panasonic would be all I need. But reviews comparing it to Pioneer's last Elite player had it besting the Pioneer for video, with the Pioneer besting the Panasonic for audio. Maybe I'll look at a few more reviews. Meantime, what have you found as you use the Magnetar?
