In Reply to: Further update: It's beginning to sound like my great redbook CDs sound even greater. This system posted by Striving for Musical Clarity on May 01, 2003 at 00:38:31:
Follow Ups:
Heck, find a place that will let you audition it on your own system ( that's what I'm doing). Everybody's ears, systems and room accoustics are different. I'm going to buy it. By the way, I'm listening through a B&K Reference 30 preamp/processor and a Sunfire Grand amp with 3 Magnepan MG-2.5s front, 2 Sonigistic/Monsoon 1600 rear and a Genesis Servo subwoofer. The room is 20' x 26' and is 13' high. Unless your configuration is the same as mine I suspect the one you test out will sound different than mine. By the way, the video is being played through a built in Pioneer Elite 710 and is excellent.
Again, the 2900 is excellent on SACDs, DVD-As, and DVDs. I'm going to have to wait until the 2900 is broken in some more before I'll be able to grade it on redbook CD performance.Other points about the Denon 2900 I like are:
. Regardless of the type of disc you insert it recognizes the format and plays it without the need for any further action on your part.
. If you're playing a multi-channel SACD, you can select whether you want the multichannel band, the 2 channel band, or the redbook CD layer (actually the selection sets the priority for default).
. It's obvious that a lot of thought went into the remote and on-screen display. You can see where marketing and engineering put themselves firmly in the shoes of the user in an effort to make the setup as seamless and intuitive as possible. For a single unit that can replace a CD player (including CD-Rs & CD-RWs), SACD player, DVD-A player, DVD player, MP3 player, and Kodak / JPEG photo slide projector, they've done an amazingly good job. It's pretty much hassle free.
. There's a complete speaker/bass management system (speaker size, speaker select, individual speaker volume, etc.). If I didn't already have this capability on my preamp/processor I would be greatly appreciating this.
. It has pure direct mode for audio.
. It has excellent control for video including black level and gamma.
It's really a rather amazing unit for just $999.
