McIntosh MVP851 or Denon 5900


For someone who likes hi-fi as well as ht what would be the better choice (and apologies if it is obvious)?

The Denon seems as if it has better scaling capabilities (1080i, 768p), but the McIntosh is well, McIntosh...

Any thoughts or suggestions much appreciated.

Would the 2channel and 5.1 audio of the Mac equal an Underwood modded Denon5900? wd
Your right, I wish I bought the Mac. I hate the Denon. A lot of DVD-A discs will not play in it.

Thanks for all the help!
I just upgraded to the McIntosh MVP851. It is absolutely outstanding. My friend brought over his heavily modified Wadia 301 and it helds it's own. The Wadia had a slightly warmer sound but the Mac had more detail. This brought a great big smile to my face when I realized I not only got a great DVD-V/A player but also a great CD Player. What I'm getting at is the McIntosh is well worth the money.
