[QUOTE="Torm, post: 2090215, member: 12706"] I think that the Cyberhome I picked up for $29 is nicer than the Apex unit I bought for $139 a few years ago, and both are nicer than the Toshiba I paid $359 for. Paying more doesn't always mean nicer - sometimes it just means you paid more. ;) And the big names have more of a motive to [I]limit[/I] some features like MP3/Multiple Video File Formats because their companies are in corporate families or industry groups with companies that make or distribute movies or music. The little guys just want to compete selling you equipment. That said, the JVC looks pretty nice. (Probably due to Victor of Japan, their parent company, not having a subsidiary that sells movies or music - I looked. :) ) It has Dolby Digital/DTS, which the Cyberhome doesn't, and what looks like the same features, otherwise. I just have the Cyberhome unit plugged up to a 50" TV with simulated surround right now, and that sounds pretty darned good, but if you're actually going to connect to a "home theatre sound system", it might be worth the difference.
