There's only two options, the Fury or the Moome. Fury is a bit cheaper, but has lesser RGB processing from what I've read. I'd go for the Moome box, your image is only as good as your weakest link.

BTW, I am on the Oppo beta team and have been using the 103 for maybe 7 months. It's a really nice player and has come along well in its development.

I use it with a RadianceXE and Moome IFB v3/v4 into my G90.

The Lumagen VisionHDP, HDQ, and PRO were the best at 24Hz extraction with their ITVC, nothing beats them. The Radiance can't really do 24Hz extraction, it's a shame. One thing you could consider is running the BD>HDP>Radiance, but that seems kind of hokey.

Craig just noticed that the 103 can accept two HDMI sources!!! So can it take the 1080i@60 from a dish network box and have it output 1080p@24? Have you tried it if it is possible?

I'm feeding the HDMI signal directly to the Moome card in the G90. I have an old school ADA processor which doesn't have HDMI inputs Embarassed

To hear the HD audio codecs I'm letting the OPPO do the conversion and output the analogue 5.1 LPCM audio signal.

Man, I want one of these... I used to be hung up on Oppo build quality. Hated it. Then they fixed that... Now, I'm stuck on the price.

If they were $350, it would have been nearly an impulse purchase and I would have bought one a long time ago. But, for some reason, $500 just feels like too much. Note, I'm not saying it's overpriced; I know how great they are. There's just something about the $500 mark that makes me stop and think about whether I want to spend that much money... And I don't. So, I wait.

Anybody that just HAS to have a 103 to get that HDMI I/O feature happen to have a 93 they'd want to sell reasonably? Wink
