After the one published at HD-Guru, another review of the second generation HD-DVD standalone player Toshiba HD-XA2 is available at High-Def Digest. As stated in the introduction, this review was done using the latest firmware currently available (v1.3, released 2/26/07), so maybe whoever is interested to purchase this drive can spend some time reading this article.
According to the article, the first generation unit's weakness was in the deinterlacing of video-based or mixed-source content, but the HD-XA2 rectifies this problem with the addition of a Silicon Optix Reon-VX chip, one of the better deinterlacing products on the market today. In other words, the HD-XA2 combines the quality upscaling of previous HD DVD players with top notch deinterlacing as well.
