If what is said about the Lexicon is true I owned a DV9500 and the video is good but the audio was a little "muting" in detail. The MVP861 is a Denon 2900 transport but the similarities stop there. The DAC circuit is much better than the Marantz or even in a A-B comparision with the Denon DVD5910 the McIntosh had a much better sound. I didn't buy the Mc due to the lower quailty video. I would have liked the audio side of it but was investing my "toy Fund" in the Ayre C5XE so I opted for the DVD3910 as a DVD player and Multi Channel sound.
