Which would be the best solution among these two:

Bd player (1080p24) > Mux HD (DVI) > Lumagen HDP (RGBHV) > marquee 9500

or

Bd player (1080p24) > Lumagen HDP (DVI/HDMI) > Moome VIM fullHd V3 > marquee 9500

In both solution you have HDCP stripping and gamma boost (in the first one using Lumagen's parametric gamma correction).

Which one do you think would be the smartest one (apart from economic consideration)?

the second one. no MUX-HD one reason is the lumagen does excellent 3:2 pull down to output 1080p@60 via HDMI, but i ran it at 48hz and it looked great too, and for scope i used 800p@72 using the shrink function in the lumagen menu, or a resistor mod on the VDM of the marquee. Either way works.

I have no experience with either, I agree with Athansios. Other reason would be because the Gamma boost on the lumagen is in the digital domain...When on the Moome I believe its analog and less precise

Question though...

Where is you're audio processor? 1/2 the fun of Blu-ray is great HD audio...A must have in my book.

Yes, but Lumagen is, in both options, in the video chain; what I mean is if do you think is better have digital/analog conversion performed by Lumagen (as in the first solution) or by Moome VIM card.... In first option, Mux HD is only for switching and HDCP stripping and then the Lumagen for processing and conversion to analog (RGBHV to Marquee)

For HD audio, I use analog out from my BD player (Samsung 2500), as my Receiver, that is a very nice Onkio Integra DS 989, has no HDMI input...

the lumagen does nothing to degrade the picture either way you choose to use it, as an D/A converter or as a scaler in the Digital domain. The thing the lumagen is worth its money for is its 11 point gamma adjustment. AND!!!! its not just at the typical 0,10,20,30...100 points you can change the points your adding the gamma too, so say you need it at 2.5 IRE, 5 IRE, 8 IRE, and 15 IRE you can change the ones that dont need gamma like 50 and up and use them for the lower IRE's.
