Pioneer Elite DV59AVI, top of the line universal player, or Denon DVD 5900. Which one would you prefer? Does anybody own a Pioneer Elite yet? and share some thought here.
I own the DV-59AVi and am perfectly happy with it. I use an HDMI to DVI cable to connect it to the DVI input on my Samsung HLN617W and use the 720p upconversion output from the 59AVi to the Samsung - great picture. Have not tried the DVD-A or SACD yet.
There are many postings at www.avsforum.com that say the 59AVi does not have the chroma bug, and many more postings comparing it to the 5900.
sonic17 is correct - the DV-59 suffers from the chroma bug (as do many players). If you're not sensitive to it, it's produces a great picture; it's very film-like. If you are sensitive to the chroma bug it will drive you crazy. It's pretty minimal on the DV-59, but it's there.
