I recently purchased a BDP-103 on ebay, and I'm starting to suspect something fishy was going on with it.
I got it for $300 which is a good price for a BDP-103 by most measures, but to my utter bewilderment, I found an AudioPraise Vanity 103 in it.
I don't know nearly enough about S/PDIF to use this device as intended, but I am very curious - how does one set up a sound system that uses 4 S/PDIFs to create 7.1 audio without there being cables all over the place? I haven't been able to find a good solution.
On a related note, what are these things worth? I saw a player going for 1200 EUR....the mind reels.
Cheers
