I need advice on upgrading my DVD player

I currently use A Denon 3910 in my HT 7.2 setup, Mac mc207 amp, anthem avm30, paradigm sig4 & C3 for the fronts. I am trying to decide if I can further improve the sound (movies mostly but some CD's and SACD's) with a player upgrade. Currently i want to stay out of the blue ray game. I am considering a Denon 5910, Mac MVP 871, Arcam DV139, Esoteric. . . Or is the Denon 3910 close enough to its bigger brother or the others to not warrant the expense??

Thanks Michael for your comments.

I use the Denon in both analog pass through ( for SACD and CD's) and digital to my prepro for movies. I think it falls a bit short for music. I don't want to add another component to the system and am looking for a universal player replacement that could get me improved music playback. I guess my question is "do the above listed alternatives offer significantly improved sonics?

I prefer to pass my audio through for music. The dac's in the avm 30 are ok but i prefer to use the 6 channel analog input, it sounds to me better. The player is just lacking something. I just want more detail and a natural sound. I have an NAD m15 cd/sacd player in my upstairs 2 channel system that sounds so much better (of course it is a dedicated CD player and not a dvd player).
