[mythtv-users] Upscaling standalone DVD vs. MythTV

I'm considering buying a nice upscaling DVD player. I'm looking at the
OPPO 971 and 981 players. How does a well built HTPC running Myth
compete as a player? I know there's a ton of variables there, but just
say I had a very nice rig, using HDMI inputs to my 720p HDTV. Would I,
could I, possibly be happy enough with the playback to not want or
need the standalone player?

I was unable to find any benchmarks or direct comparisons between a
linux media PC and an Oppo player. So any pointers toward further
reading, or strait up opinions are very appreciated.
thanks,
--Jason
