How good is the Krell DVD Standard??

I have a Denon DVD-2930CI and run component video into my
TV. I am very pleased with the Denon's "Depth of field".
It's the best player I've found so far for depth of field.

I just bought a Krell 400xi Integrated amp so now I am
wondering if the Krell DVD Standard DVD player would be an
improvement over my current Denon 2930CI. I have a huge
500+ DVD collection so if the Krell is sharper with even
better "depth of field" then I would gladly step up to the
Krell Standard. (Plus it would match my Krell amp) If the
Denon is clearly better I may step up to the 3930CI..

Thanks,
Tom

I have a DVD standard and drive a runco front projector (DTV-940) on a 96" screen... in the day of analog projectors, the only better DVD player i ever saw was the Meridian 800. (looked at denon, Pioneer Elite, others..) I've seen them on here for as little as $1900. Since it also doubles as a great CD player...that seems like a steal since the original retail was $8k.

You should be aware that (at least mine) doesn't do well with ripped dvd's. Especially dual layer. I've never had an issue with the originals, but some of my backups do not play.

Hey Tom..

i forgot to mention that the CD performance is significantly "sweeter" from the DVD standard through the balanced outputs...

there is a significant difference between those and the single ended outputs.. try that to your one balanced input on the 400xi.
