This is like the HD-A20 except better - HDMI 1.3 + Silicon Optix Reon video processor! Meaning bitstream output of nextgen audio codecs, likely better 1080p output due to specialized deinterlacing, and improved DVD upscaling.

Another great option if you don't mind spending the extra $150 over the HD-A20.
