I have a parts conexion modified 2900, and have done a/b comparison with the Oppo 83 SE i bought....it is very close to the same quality of sound
Denon DVD 2900 5900 etc Audio VS Oppo 83SE Audio
Hi all-
I have a Denon DVD 5900 player and a dedicated Denon BluRay player (HDMI output only). My MF Tri Vista SACD player crapped out a while back and I have been using the 5900 for SACD playback. This unit is well reviewed but is a little lack-luster IMO. So for all you 'Goners that have experience with both the Denon (2900 through 5910 series) and the new Oppo 83 SE, please let me know how the SACD and DVD-A SOUND compare. I'm looking at the Oppo because I do not want to spend a fortune as I really do not listen to SACDs' or DVD-A's that much, but I do have a collection of around 75 or so. If the Oppo does not sound much better or involving than what I have I'll stick with what I already own. The other advantage for me is the Oppo will replace 2 units with 1, freeing up a shelf for better placement of my Pass power supply. Your input will be greatly appreciated.
