Sonic quality of the Denon DV 5900.

I am currently waitng for my Denon 5900 to be delivered.
I will be hooking this up to a Krell Home Theater Standard 7.1 preamp. My amps are Krell KAV 2250 and 3250.
In the past I have been dissapointed by the sonic quality of my DVD SACD DVDA player,especially for two channel.
So how do you all think the Denon performs in two channel or should I add a two channel CD player?

In addition to Exemplar, Underwood and ModWright also offer upgrades to the 5900 (and other players, of course), which I find very attractive. I have a 5900 on its way to Dan at ModWright for the Signature Truth Tube mod, MCH mod, analog slipstream Bybee mod, and perhaps some other tweaks. I can't wait to get it in my system!

The Denon 5900(or A-11) is very good in 2ch. No need to add any other player. I sometimes have a hard time finding the differences between the Denon and my CEC TL2/Meridian 566DAC combo on redbook. As they are in difference systems, I cannot conclusivly say that which is better. As it sounds, the Denon is already very impressive.

Look into a Denon 2900 with an Exemplar Audio Modification,
Your search for a Reference caliber 2 Channel player will be over for a very long time.
