Sigma Designs makes the chips for decoding divx, mpeg-4 ,and wmv9 and soon H.264 standard.Sigmas chips feature a scaler for upscaling to hdtv and hdtv support.Sony is a sigma customer if want an idea of the high end quality these chips provide. Pinnacle is comming out with a mpeg-4 tuner/dvd player stream to pc for pvr.Pinnacle(makers of dazzle) use Sigma's chips.Kiss uses Sigma BUT the Kiss players DO NOT Have DVI.DVI is an an output designed for hdtv bandwith.So I would guess the thing to look for in the high end unit is DVI and support of the high compression standards for streaming to and from the pc and upscaling to hdtv.Momitsu v880n should be out in a few weeks,they have DVI and sigm chips. http://www.extremephono.com/momitsu_dvd_v880.htm
