One other thing a DVD player always mentions is the used
D/A converter (Digital to Analog Converter). Some players use terms like "12bit/108Mhz" or "12bit/54Mhz", other brands use more exotic terms and they all use different methods (or so they claim) to convert the digital signal to an analog signal internally. So which brand uses the best system? Well, depends on which brand you believe. In reality the differences are so small that you need to use the best equipment available to even see or hear the difference. And even if one technology is better than the other, it isn't the used D/A conversion that makes a player good or bad. You could have a player with the best D/A converter available; if the other components in the player are sub-par, then the resulting picture will be sub-par too. One thing you
can be certain of however. With all other things being equal, a higher number (whichever number) is better. So a Sony that sports "12bit/108Mhz" really is better than a Sony with "12bit/54Mhz" - even though only marginally.
