I had one of the first 5900's that had a violent transport grinding/lockup problem which at times was just an annoying vibration.
My second 5900 had no problems except macro blocking.
My first 3910 was DOA, so i brought it back to a local dealer.
The second powered up fine....but would not pass btb via dvi, had a green push, macro blocking, occasional DTS dropout and the upconversion button would not function after a few days.
Some say that made in China means nothing....but its very ironic that Denons Q/C issues were a lot higher, directly after they started making all there players in China.
I compared an Onkyo sp 1000 to the 3910, and slightly preffered the Onkyo's picture, as well as highly preffering the audio as well as build quality and dependibility.
I beleive Pioneer Elite also has a good rep for not having Q/C issues....but imo, Denon as of the last couple years has been a let down from the quality they once had.
