I have a Denon 5910 CI and an Oppo BDP-83 and I prefer the Oppo for SACD. The Denon is better on CD. I will probably have my Oppo upgraded to the SE version.
Denon DVD-A1UDci vs Marantz UD-9005
Has anyone had a chance to compare these two universal disc BluRay players. I am wanting to upgrade from my Denon 5910ci to BluRay and need to maintain SACD 5.1 and DVD-A along with equal or better DVD Video upconversion to 1080p.
My current Denon does a good job but I need to keep it all in one player. I have to use the 6 channel input on my Pre-Pro as it does not have the new DTS HD or DD codecs. Has anyone seen a review on these. McIntosh is about to release the 881 but it will be 8000 which I can't justify. The Marantz is 1500 more than the Denon and from what I can see they are fairly comperable. The Marantz seems to have a better box design but the D/A conversion and the Video processing are major concerns as well.
