I almost bought one of these but lack of SACD was a killer. I also read Panasonic did not want to support a competing format, and rumblings about Sony's licensing fees being too high to Panasonic (why would Sony want a competitor?) I vacillated on the Sony X800 but managed to get an Oppo UDP-203 before they announced they were shutting down the BD player division and prices skyrocketed.
Most if not all consumer amps reach max output by 2 Vrms so the lower output was not a big deal to me. Plus I connect with HDMI; can't really tell the difference with my ears of clay. Some suggested the UDP-205 but I am cheap as well as deaf.
