Their newest Blu-ray player, the BD-SP809 looks to continue that trend. Its got THX certification, 3D support, dual HDMI outputs, DLNA 1.5 certification, Netflix 3.0, Blockbuster, Film Fresh, and VUDU streaming, Marvell Qdeo upscaling, and 297 MHz/12-Bit NSV DACs. For $600, it is a solid player. But the question is, how does it stand up to the Oppo offerings? Not bad...if you aren't a power user. Discuss "Onkyo Audio BD-SP809 THX Blu-ray Player Preview" here.
