your OP seemed to me to rule out the Denon because it doesn’t do DSD. And if you don’t value my advice I’m done here
Sony UBP-x700 or Denon DVD-1930CI with Denon AVR-4520CI for SACD
Don't like the 'no display' plastic Sony x700 I currently use via HDMI to my Denon 4520.
Found a used Denon 1930CI that is more substantial and plays SACD. But I don't think it puts out DSD over HDMI (only PCM)? Analog may not allow DSP, Audyssee (and not sure how good the 1930CI DA is). Noticeable difference?

@mahler123 only comment with a well fitting "duh" on your advise "Otherwise get a player with a display." to my first line "Don't like the 'no display' plastic Sony x700" :-)

@fiesta75 having to use analog (for 5.1 SACD), how good is players DAC (vs the receivers)? And no Audassey (appears that Audassey only works on the digital side), and that would also rule it out in my case (very 'challenging' 5.1 speaker setup where Audassey is needed to make it work). |
@deep_333 How good is the display of the 800, and how 'solid' (heft, feel) is it? Both points are the only reasons for me to look for an alternative to the 700. |
