You must have a sub, sacd and dvd-audio do not have .1 channel like movies do, most players have poor bass management for the sub channel for music, the denon is not alone in this loss. I would get a outlaw audio ICBM if you have small or mix and match speaker system and be done with it if you end up being happy with everything else about this players sound. I have not listened to the Denon but have read about its bass management problem over at the AVS forum, there is a very long thread about it that you may want to read.
Denon DVD 2900 I got, but no bass.
I have a Classe SSP75. Got a Denon DVD2900 hooked up to it.
Started to listen to SACD and DVDA titles. Was pleased but I noticed a serious shortcoming in bass.
At that point I put in a CD and started comparing the analog out to digital.
I was shocked! The denon had no bass. Almost seems like the bottom octave is missing.
Has anyone experienced anything like this? Could the DENON suck this bad really?
