I compared several dvd based players analog outs to the c2 and found the Denon 5900 to be inferior to the c2's own dacs.
The only dvd player I had on hand that I preferred to the c2's dacs, was a Modwright signature 9000 es.
If you want a universal that offers better sonics, as well as better video than the Denons for 2k or less, you need to demo an Onkyo sp 1000.
The 3910 could not compete whith this sp 1000 either so its going back to the store.
For a lot more money , you could get a universal that has better sonics than the sp 1000, but none are better for film based dvd veiwing.
