Denon 5910ci and Sony XA9000ES

Anyone compared these 2. Anyone evaluated the 2 and then bought one of them?

Any chance you auditioned the XA9000ES? Flemke, I'm with you. Ozzy, any chance your system was not playing in correct phase? Flat presentation is one of the giveaways. I appreciate your response but there's been too much good said by too many people for me to accept it sounds terrible; but everything is relative so I'm not dissing your opinion at all.

I'm still very interested to hear comparisons of the Denon 5910 versus Sony XA9000ES for Redbook Cd playback. I'm assuming both will satisfy for the other formats. I'll still be using my Toshiba HD ready TV with the old progressive scan 3 wire connection component video system for at least a couple of years and the Toshiba SD9200 DVD player seems to look ok for us. Would the new Benchmark DAC 1 from the SD9200 provide sound to equal the 5910 or XA9000Es?
