Yes, I have a Sony DVP-S9000es 2 channel SACD player with progressive scan DVD and a Technics DVD-A10 5.1 channel DVD-A player also with progressive scan DVD.Even before break-in this machine is at least equaling the others in audio. The video exceeds that of either of the others. I haven't checked it out on redbook CDs yet.
I've been debating between getting this and getting a Sony AX-777es at twice the price but with no DVD-Audio and no video (but it is an awsome CD and SACD player - as good as they come).
Going with the Denon greatly symplifies my sysem and it's already exhibiting excellent audio. So I've made the decision to go with the excellent audio of the 2900 and forego the best in class audio of the 777. There's still the concern about which format (SACD or DVD-Audio) is going to win out. This way I'm covering all my bases.

- The 2900 is a pure Denon design. It's not based on any Pioneer... nt - RatFarm 04:40:02 04/30/03 (0)
