I'm considering both of these universal players. Had a Philips SACD 1000 that gave up the ghost at an early age. Currently have a Mcintosh MVP 841 but doesn't play sacd. Any input? Thanks
both players are very nice.....Denon has the better remote and more versatility with full bass management allowing the mode of setting crossovers....the sound is maybe a bit more muddied with the Denon and the MArantz being a slight more sharp.....but hwhtere or not there is a 700 hundered buck difference ...hmm im not sure which one i will keep yet..
What will be even more interesting in the near future: Denon DVD-3910 -VS- Marantz DV9500 on all formats. Any early wagers on which will be sonically superior?
I have the 8400 but am waiting for the new 9500 due out in November. The 3910 is based on the 5900 on a 2900 chassis. My comparison with the 8400 vs. the 5900 is that the 5900 has a superior video section and the 8400 has a slightly better SACD playback. I am hoping the 9500 exceeds the 8400 or I may buy the New McIntosh 861 uni/player when it hits later this fall. 4k is a lot to spend but we do love this don't we?
