I assume that the A2 would be the better option for only $20 difference, but I simply don't know...
The A2 is actually a little stripped down as far as its inputs and outputs go compared to the XA1 (which is also built like a tank in comparison to the A2). It`s lacking multi-channel analogue outputs and coaxial output compared to the XA1 and forthcoming XA2… plus with the amusing current rate of exchange what`s $20 to any Brit right now, let alone Mark here? smile The A2 is however, meant to be more responsive. Quicker, and with a better remote.

I can`t help but think of Mark as a Milky-Bar Kid like figure reading these last couple of pages.

The Hi-def formats are strong and tough
And only the best is good enough
The best in sound, and visuals too
Mark_H has gone and bought a player for you.

“the HD DVD players are on meeeeeeeee!”
