Arcam DV 137 vs. Denon DVD 3910

agree with both Kedoades and JeffKad. I think I'll settle with my TUC 3930ci for a long time.

I compared it to a stock 3910, the amount of energy, air and detail is just day and night ...

And David's customer service is just unmatched.

I agree with JeffKad, the upgrade company does great work and Dave is a very knowledgeable and nice guy, I have an upgraded 3910 and it is just awesome

Get a used 3930 here at agon and send it to The Upgrade Company to be modded. This way you get the best of all worlds, Denon reliability (built like a tank, compare chassis to arcam!), Denon video quality, and sound quality upgraded to close to state of art (or at least to 4k-5k dvps). I just got a used 3930ci from Dave at upgrade co and, although it's not yet broken in, i must say the SQ is amazing. I'm hearing details, textures, that I've never heard before. I know I'm sounding like a shill, but i really am impressed with the result, and it was from people here at agon that I got the idea in the first place, so I'm sharing my experience. I was scared to death that i wasn't going to like it and was all set to buy a used Esoteric dv50 or dv60 for alot more money, but I took the risk. Very happy with my decision. Just my two cents. Good luck, don't think you'll be unhappy with any of your choices.

As per Denon's web site the Denon 3930ci has HDCD.

Thanks guys I will take your advice.

I think it's a wash. I've heard at a friend's house an old Denon CD player and it really blows away my 3K Arcam DVD player. Don't know why. But that's the reality. Now, Krell is a diffent story. But the Krell Showcase is close to $5 (with HDMI) and Standard if 8K.
