| Best under $2000.00 : Denon,Marantz,Onkyo,Pioneer? The rules have changed and the Onkyo sp 1000 is the new best video player made bar none at any price.If you want better video, you would have to go to an sdi modded player .As far as audio, the Onkyo is the current best for everyone that has heard... | |

| DVI output of a cheap DVD player always same ?? Is the Bravo cheaper than the Zenith 318 hd which upconverts via component or dvi?The Zenith is a higher rated player in the secrets test I noticed.I can take the 318's dvi output and get a decent 110 in picture after calibration.It is not however... | |
| What I want to see in the next gen of SACD players I also prefer 2 channel sa-cd playback and would like to see dsd surround encoded hi def blu ray dvd's in the future.Greg | |
| Upcoming universal player releases any new info? Jay,I will attempt to explain the difference.Using analog 2 channel outs, the 3910 has 192hz upsampling on permanently with no way to turn it off.The 3910 does not sound bad, its just too detail oriented for long term listening.I found this same s... | |
| Upcoming universal player releases any new info? The only pro reveiws so far are in German and French as this is a newer model.Go to the avs forums dvd section under the Integra dps 10.5 (same player) and you will find somewhat translated versions of both reveiws of the sp 1000 as well as dozens... | |
| Upcoming universal player releases any new info? The top player right now for 2500.00 or less is the Onkyo sp 1000 for audio and video and build quality.Its been compared to the Marantz 9500, Pioneer 59avi, Denon 5900 and 3910 and came out on top in every category in both reveiws.I have personal... | |
| DVD upgrade for 2 Ch music with Parasound C2? I compared several dvd based players analog outs to the c2 and found the Denon 5900 to be inferior to the c2's own dacs.The only dvd player I had on hand that I preferred to the c2's dacs, was a Modwright signature 9000 es.If you want a universal ... | |
| Mark Knopfler Shangri La on sa-cd Bought mine at Amazon U.K for under 20.00.It is a fairly mellow Knopfler recording, but like the others it grows on you quick.AmazonUK has this recording on redbook,vinyl,sa-cd and dvd video.Greg | |
| Denon 3910 Universal Player - Opinions? Bwhite, the Goldman is beautious or something, but a bit out of my price range.I could afford maybe a Estoric dv-50, but the video is supposedly not up to par whith the Onkyo or top Denons ect,so I will go the mod route instead.The Onkyo pictures ... | |
| Denon 3910 Universal Player - Opinions? Kman,The Onkyo sp 1000 and Integra dps 10.5 seem to be the same player except the 10.5 outputs upconverted video from composite and s video external source, has bnc component, and a 3 year warranty for 500.00 more.If you go to the Integra site, yo... | |
| Denon 3910 Universal Player - Opinions? Bwhite, you can look at close ups of both of these players guts at the Crutchfield site.The sp 1000 has a lot beefier power supply that includes a torridal transformer.The tray on the sp 1000 glides out smoothly whithout a peep, where the 3910, yo... | |
| Denon 3910 Universal Player - Opinions? As far as my little comparison on the 3910 and sp 1000, they both have the blacker than black bug for hdmi/dvi connections.I checked for macro blocking, and found no objectional excessive macro blocking in movies that definitly show it.The 480p wa... | |
| Denon 3910 Universal Player - Opinions? Bwfreak, Secrets is supposed to be used as a guideline, not a bible for dvd quality.I did use it as a guideline only, up until the 5900 rating.The salesman took a second 3910 out of the box and powered it up before I arrived to swap them out.He of... | |
| Denon 3910 Universal Player - Opinions? Jer, I don't entirely have much faith in the Secrets reveiws as they never deducted points for the macro blocking on the 5900,that and there is a Huge Denon banner at that site.Anyway, I already picked up a 3910,,,and guess what, "IT WILL NOT EVEN... |
