I think the point that Crion is making [I'm sure he'll reply in due time] is that once purchased the HD621 can be used for any HDMI source and also that some folk have more than one HDMI source.

Whereas with the BDP83 4*SPDIF mod, to upgrade this to say a BDP95 one would have to have the mod done again for the new model.

I think most Bluray disk are 24 bit / 48 KHz. So these are still upsampled 96 KHz and thus apodising is applied. But it�s mood point as to whether it make a difference for movies.
