tough decision: Rotel RDV 1092 or Denon 3930CI


Any input/opinions would be appreciated. Quality video is an obvious objective here, but 2-channel audio playback quality is my main focus - I will be using the new unit as my primary transport/converter for cd’s, concert dvd’s and dvd movies. I have read excellent things about both units and I am currently home-auditioning the Rotel. I am a little disappointed that the Rotel does note offer SACD playback, but it does a tremendous job with Redbook cd’s. SACD appears to be a dying medium, but if the audio quality of the two units is similar, the Denon's SACD playback would likely be the selling factor for me. My plasma does not offer 1080p, so I will not be able to fully appreciate either unit's video potential. However, as an old two-channel guy, I have always appreciated the audio over the video (not to say that I'm not blown away by the new video technologies).
Note: I was ready to buy the Rotel tomorrow until I did some research on line and found so many great reviews of the Denon. Again, any thoughts/advice/opinions would be greatly appreciated.
