Sad that Denon beat Sony to this considering they are responsible 2:3 of the formats

Yummy. Way too expensive, though.

It has the exact same video section as the $1,400 Denon 3800 Blu-ray player, which leaves you with $5,000 over for a separate hi-resolution audio setup.

DVD-A is quite dead it's not something I'd call all that important and yeah the PS3 (some versions at least) can do SACD and Blu-ray for a whole lot less than 6k ;).

I'll wait for the oppo.

But if the krell dies in the meantime, i'll get this

SONY SCD XA-5400ES SUPER AUDIO CD PLAYER, XA5400ES

which is getting rave reviews and whose stereo performance

is being compared to meitner and dCS.

Have picked my new projector for the media room (jvc rs-20)

now i have to find a processor/preamp that meets my requirements,

currently there aren't any.

I want pure native dsd over hdmi with analog volume and balanced outputs.

But clearly a player that puts everything on the hdmi connector is the

wave of the future, and finally someone with brains can do an ultra high

resolution native dsd dac, and then when the player craps out, you throw

it out and replace it without having to spend $2k to $3k for a new $149

piece of plastic.

Jealous. I have an RS-1 and was on the list for the first batch of RS-20s, but ultimately couldn't justify the outlay over my other audio/video priorities.

I think you'll be waiting a long time for a DSD pre-pro.

Ahh...so that Denon is the replacement of their Denon 5910 huh? I so happy with my Exemplar 5910 right now that I won't upgrade for a very long time.

Looks like a great remote to me. Buttons are sufficiently unique in size and shape to allow for differentiation without the need to look at them and there aren't 953 tiny little buttons to allow you to tweak every last setting.

Any rumors on the price of this thing?
