I just got the Denon 2910 DVD player. It has great video, and okay audio. The audio isn't quite up to the task of my Bel Canto DAC2, however. I'll post a review later when I've got more listening notes. Basically, the sound doesn't have as much body, and the soundstage is thin and ambiguous, and there is not as much air around voices. It's not a bad sound -- nothing objectionable -- just doesn't have the life that allows you to really enjoy the music. I've tried DAD and CD -- not SACD.I would like a universal player that has great video, all the newest video features, but also has great audio. I would like something that was on par with the Bel Canto. Does such a thing exist without paying huge dollars? Do I get something modded? I'm going to audition the 3910 in my system in the near future to see how that goes.
