I wonder why people still want to buy Ninetech. (it must be something better than Soken which I cannot find it from the spec)

จุดเด่นของ DVI-9 ก็คือ สามารถปล่อยสัญญาณ hi-def ได้ที่ช่อง component และ vga ด้วยน่ะครับ ในกรณีที่่ ผู้ใช้ไม่มีช่อง digital input ครับผม...

The 971H is the premier DVD player from a brand new company here in the US: Oppo Digital. The company is a spring off from the electronics giant, BBK Electronics. BBK has been in the business for a long time and is a world leader in the electronics field with total manufacturing output matching Sony and Matsushita. If the 971H is any indication, we have a lot to look forward to from Oppo Digital.

As you can see from the Benchmark scores, the 971H is an outstanding budget DVD player. But I must advise you that the scores only pertain to the DVI output. This player’s component outputs do not support progressive playback, only 480i, so we were not able to plot a video frequency response curve. I was quite surprised, because I’ve never seen this before. The DVI video board in the player houses the Genesis FLI-2310 video processing chip, so the component video connections cannot take advantage of it.

This is the second union of the FLI-2310 and a Mediatek MPEG decoder. Ever since I first tested the Mediatek chips, I’ve been hoping for their fusion with a high line de-interlacing solution. The first player that I tested with this was the Toshiba 593 DVD/VCR combo. Unfortunately, that player had inconsistent performance from player to player, and the implementations of the chips were not what they should have been. I left feedback with Toshiba on this, but they didn’t take advantage of the suggestions. When Oppo originally sent me their player, I found some problems that needed to be addressed, I let them know, and they fixed them. I must say I was extremely impressed with how Oppo handled the issues I brought up, as well as the issues that I’ve seen raised on some of the Internet A/V forums. Their fixes led to a score of 94 in our benchmark, which is only second to the Denon DVD-5910. Not bad for a sub-$200 player!

This player offers the standard upscaling resolutions of 480p, 720p and 1080i. The DVI output is not HDCP compliant, so consumers with older DVI monitors that don’t support HDCP are in luck! The Faroudja chip seems to be set up appropriately, though it lacks a mode for 2-2 cadences. Oppo informed me that this is a feature that will be implemented on their next player. The Genesis chip has the same limitations as every other player using it. This includes somewhat sluggish transitions between film and video material and the unfortunate macroblocking issue. When I used my standard A Bug's Life test, the player did show signs of the macroblocking bug but it isn’t as bad as some other players such as the Teac Esoteric UX-1 or Samsung HD-1000.

The Mediatek chip is utilized to its fullest potential here. The player breezed through our chroma tests with no signs of banding or jaggies at all. The chip is also extremely fast with menu navigation and supports a seamless layer change.

I did find a few additional problems with the player and hope to see Oppo resolve them with a future firmware change. The cross color suppressor function of the Faroudja processing is defaulted to ON with no way of turning it off. We saw this same issue with the Panasonic RP-62 a while back, and it can cause some abnormalities with chroma performance, including slight flickering. I played animation material, including Toy Story, A Bug’s Life, The Incredibles, and Finding Nemo (think I’m a Pixar fan??) and didn’t see any issues at all. But I did notice a big drop off in vertical chroma resolution using the test patterns from Avia Pro.

Some of the bonus features of this player include excellent PAL support with PAL to NTSC conversion. On top of that, the player is region free out of the box making it an excellent choice for fans of foreign cinema or foreign market DVDs. The player also supports DiVX and MPEG-4 files. On the audio side, you’ll find an internal Dolby Pro Logic II decoder that can be used with the analog audio outputs. There is also full DVD-Audio support with bass management and time alignment.

If you are in the market for a budget DVD player, with DVI output, and which has exceptional video performance, the 971H definitely meets those criteria. This player passes below-black, has no pixel cropping, and there are no signs of Y/C delay. I personally can’t wait to see what Oppo has in store for us next.

Could you guys please give comment. I would like to know which player offers better picture quality on plasma (LG 1024*768) via DVI port. I plan to use it with pirate dvd and soken seems to give better result while ninetech needs an upgraded drive. I wonder why people still want to buy Ninetech. (it must be something better than Soken which I cannot find it from the spec)

Soken has DCDi but i cannot find it in Ninetech. Thus I am not so sure about the pic quality since no one review them side by side.

Thanks so much  :D
