hey, Steve! yes, i was asking for the bit depth. might not be the most useful feature but i think that it would make the new BDP-3 more complete. so it simply tells you everything about the song you are listening to even without a computer or an ipad etc.
Yes, I was just saying you could live without it, but for those scenarios where the bit depth is truncated or manipulated I guess it could come in handy. You can't have too much information, and I really like the new wave of DACS that have OLED displays that tell all.
I'm sure I will hear from those that say a display adds noise, but the OLED displays are virtually noiseless and are being used in an array of high-end DACs. If there truly is a noise issue, then the BDP-x components should probably have their displays replaced with LEDs.
