That would be a difficult question to answer, but the 3910 adds the newer 1796 Dac vs. the 1790(or 91) of the 2900, and AL24+ processing (I think)

The 3930 adds to the above a linear power supply, dual dacs per channel, and the new Advanced AL24 processing.

Still, I bet that unit sounds very nice.

The peanut gallery wants to know how hard it would have been for the to use black screws to match what was already there? I mean seriously, I'm guessing that you're paying a not-insignificant amount of coin for the mods.

Otherwise I'm psyched you're getting your player back and hope it sounds sweet.

Standard mods + XLR runs around $1250 according to the web site.

Interesting! I just noticed that Matt is selling his personal 555es :o to upgrade to the 3930! He must really be impressed with it.

I decided to come home after a half days work, and the DHL guy got there about 5 mins after I did,

even though they were going to hold it for me to pick up after 4:00 pm.

Anyways, the SACDmods Denon DVD-3930CI is in the house!

So I put on the first SACD Norah Jones - come away with me -- fucking mistake!

Here voice breaks up all over the first track and others, like the mic is clipping....

I thought oh shit, the player is fucked up......

Then I pop in Groove Note True Audiopohile.....

Wow. The detail is incredible... but not bright at all, no harshness whatsoever, still listening...

Tons of deep but tight bass, I can hear the scrapings of of the brushes, super quiet marracas I didn't hear before,

the sound of strings being plucked....

I will pop in a few more CDs and make some observations
