I own the first converter and it did a great job when I last used it. I used it with a Sony 1272Q before my JVC RS40U projector. After removing the CRT projector from my theater, I took the HDMI to RGBHV box apart. The chip set is the same Silicon Image that is used in the HDFury. Overall it is a nice converter.
Also, what are "floating black levels"? Is that like a floating ground?  My basic look over of the PCB showed the D/A converters to be on the SI chip, so then the HDFury is also soft?

Sorry - I was referring to the one in the second link. Looks like one of the cheaper versions that's been around for a while that has (or had) issues. Not sure about the first link.
Floating black levels means the black level, what is considered black moves up and down (brighter/darker). For example, if a bright scene is shown, the black level (what i considered black) "floats" up or down as compared to a darker scene. Not well anchored. Wrecks the image quality for serious viewing.

OK, cool. someone should buy the second converter and test/take it apart for everyone to see.

Well i guess i just need to buy one, and test it.. the reason i'm asking is that i'm trying to put together a cheep CRT setup for a friend.. Maybe a old 8" Ampro 3600 or like that, And buying a moome or HD furry will cost much more than the rest of this setup..
Sure i don't want floating black level.. But no need to be reference level converter..
