Denon DVD-3930CI DVD Player

For high end equipment this player takes the cake! I have two of them. Their audio playback is incredable, amazing!! Video is 2nd to none too!!!

This is about the best Universal DVD player you can get. It is comparable to Denon's top of the line 5910CI [Same HVQ Realta Chip] at a fraction of the price. Why Denon did this? Who knows. The Video quality on first look on a small 720p LCD is remarkable. The DVD looks almost High Def. No Joke. Like most people I have a collection of DVD's for my favorite movies, so reproduction and upscaling of the standard def is important. This player will no dissappoint as all the reviews have stated. Why so cheap now? The universal BlueRay players are comming and at a reasonable cost. If you can hold out longer then this unit is not for you, but if you not only love to watch movies but also do some serious stereo listening, than this player needs to be considered.I put it up against my High end modified Jolida Vacuum Tube player and it more than held its own. In fact bass reproduction was outstanding and the music was still organic. This unit has a "Pure Direct" mode which is a 2 CH analog out with the option to turn off the non-used digital sections of the player. Did I mention SACD and DVD-A compatible. Very enjoyable to listen to! Highly Recommended is you don't mind getting a separate BlueRay player. If you can wait, take a look at the new Universal BlueRay Player from Oppo due out in the summer. It has some good initial reviews and may solve all of your HT needs. With that said, I am not sure many other players can do both Video and Audio as well as the Denon and the DVD-3930CI is currently at a great price point.

100% satisfied. Seller was very helpful in explaining aspects of product over phone after purchase and delivery.

SACD playback is the beat I've ever heard,sounds "audiophile", on my adcom gfa-7700amp, and my Marantz AV-9000 preamp/processor,using Energy Connoiseur C-8 speakers, compared to my Sony SCD-333es, and my Sony dvp-ns9100es, on the same system. CD playback is comparable to the others. DVD playback for movies is almost as good as my 1080i HD broadcasts. The upconvert is that good!! I originally bought this player to have Modded, and I still intend to do so.
