It will handle DVDs, SACD and Bluray. If you need to have 1 transport, this is not a bad choice. I can't say that it has knocked by socks off, but it has been reliable, with excellent picture and sound. Loads faster than many Bluray players.

Hehe, didn't think one could get them to such a stage, they feel pretty bullet proof, but twelve years is a long time! Let us know the difference with HD600?

I just got the HD600s today - the first disclaimer is that it is hard to be accurate when you are comparing what the old cans sounded like when you can't do a side-by-side comparison. Since I sent the HD580s back for repair I have been using Koss PortaPros (very decent inexpensive portable cans) so that also colors my observations.
First impressions are that the new cans are very detailed and accurate, but dry and technical sounding. I find myself wanting a tube amp to warm things up a little bit. At this point I would say I preferred the sound of my 580s, however must emphasize that these are FIRST impressions, and I'm holding off final judgement for at least 50-100 hours of listening. Again, detailed and technical, but the sound hasn't really pulled me in yet. Will wait and see, meanwhile, I'll be looking at tube amps...

A tube amp should be a good match with the HD600s!
