Keep the 9000 and buy a good $600 cd player for your cd-r's. The 999 is a great audio/video player but about $1,000. Sony has not made anything with the same build quality since the 9000.
Denon 3910 vs Sony 999ES/9000ES
Has anyone compared these players........... I currently have a Sony 9000ES and am happy with it except for one major thing. It does'nt play recordable formats (ie. CD-R, DVD-R, etc.).
How deos the Denon and newer Sony stack up for video and audio performance? I don't need HDMI and surround audio is only mildly interesting to me. I have another dedicated 2 channel system but I still want the best sound (and video performance) I can get out of my HT rig without spending $$$$.
The rest of my HT set-up is: Classe' SSP-25 and CAV-150 amp. Sony XBR 40 Wega with Maggies all the way around.
Thanks for your input
