Latest addition to my HT

[Hakka]

Picked up a Toshiba HD-XE1 yesterday, it is the PAL equivalent of the HD-XA2.
I don't have a HD projector, I bought it for the new generation sound formats, but still noticed substantial improvement in picture quality over my Denon DVD-2200.

I have 5 HD-DVDs, they all have Dolby Digital Plus, no Dolby TrueHD. I own the same titles on SD DVD. I did some audio comparisons with The Bourne Supremacy, I had both sources synched up and used the remote to change inputs.
DD+ is a big improvement from DD, the level of detail was amazing. There is a scene near the start of Bourne Supremacy where they are on a balcony near the sea, there are wind chimes in the background which can't be heard very clearly in the DD mix, they were crystal clear in the DD+ mix.

I should have 300 in TrueHD before the end of the week, can't wait.

Nice one Hakka...Who did you get it from?..and if you don't mind me asking, how much?

I got it from Klapp AV in Footscray, I've been dealing with them for a few years now. It cost me $1369 (rrp $1599) and came with a free movie (Apollo 13).
