Denon 2910 vs Denon 3910


I currently own a 2910 and am considering an upgrade to the 3910. Does anyone out there have any background on how much of an improvement I would see and hear?

I previously owned a Denon 2800 and actually preferred the audio performance on this player vs the 2910.

I am using a Rotel 1066 pre and 1095 amp and Proac Studio 200's for my mains.

The 3910 will have basically identical video and digital audio performance, the cost increase is for a better analog output stage and nicer chassis. The 3910 to me sounded very similar to the 2910 but with a bit more bass and drive. Both sound a little dark and recessed, and neither pulls a lot of detail on its own. A better idea is save up for a higher end universal or buy a standalone CDP. I am using a Bel Canto PL-2 and I also have a 2910, there is absolutely no comparison in the audio, though the 2910's video is equal or possibly better IMHO. I got my PL-2 from underwoodwally for a steal, might be worth a look.
