My name is Pete, and I don't have a Blu-Ray player....

Since it appears nobody else here owns the Integra DBS-30.1, I'll have to be the first and will post my impressions when I get it, hopefully in just a few days. Heck, somebody's got to do it!

I was at a local HT dealer last week looking at some larger flat screens and in one room he was using the 30.1, but since it is not an all format player like the Denon's I did not pay much attention to it. I think the Integra line is pretty good in general and there seems to be virtually no significant difference in the video performance between blu-ray players, you should be happy with your choice.

As for his decision to buy the Integra, he is getting a good deal. Not only is he picking up a long length premium Wireworld HDMI cable as part of the deal, but is also picking up another piece of equipment he needs to replace a piece of gear he owns that has given up the ghost, and is too expensive to repair. The whole package is a good deal, and serves Pete's purposes well. Relax guys. Pete is doing just fine.

Thanks Dan....I'll keep ya posted.

Thanks Jim, that's what I've been hoping to hear since I've had no hands-on experience with Integra gear. I do know my local dealer doesn't keep any junk around though....

Pete

Only Bluray discs with lossless sound.
Standard Dvd's become painful.


PS
You should have purchased the Oppo 83 Bluray and SACD player.

Let him realize a regret on his own time - experimentation is part of this entire game we play.

He'll be happy either way - the upgrade to BD is substantial.

Hey, hey, hey, hey.
Don't get him confused, this was a long process (4-5years for a decision)







PS: would have gone with the Oppo myself (too many positive reviews)
