The latest addition to the Aventage line is the BD-A1000 Universal Blu-ray player. In addition to what you'd normally find on a Blu-ray player, it includes Netflix, Blockbuster and YouTube streaming as well as two USB ports for playback of digitally stored content.
It plays back Blu-rays at 1080p/24 and boasts 7.1 channel analog outputs that utilize four 2-channel DACS. It can handle all the latest high definition audio formats and boasts solid audio performance.

The BD-A1000 can be had at a price of $699.
