In Reply to: i've reviewed the Denon DVD-A1/9000 and DVD-3800 and compared them with my SCD-XA777ES posted by Christine Tham on April 30, 2003 at 21:59:42:
Never mind that we're discussing US$3K+ MSRP players at introduction vs. two players that have MSRPs of US$1.2K (DV-3800) and US$1K (DV-2900). One would certainly expect some areas where the more expensive players excel.However, you aren't very clear at all on your points of comparison.
Could you explain to me the basis for this comparison:
"the DVD-3800 on the other hand is a few notches below in audio quality and i wouldn't say it's comparable to the XA777ES"
One would certainly not expect the DV-3800 to surpass the Sony SCD-XA777ES, since the DV-3800 lacks SACD playback capability. Perhaps you meant on Redbook CD playback? Clarification would be appreciated.
