Reggie, I understand your point about the '3800. It is odd. Mike, Unfortunately, you don't have many options for DVD-Audio players at the $500-or-so price point. The Panasonic 'RP91 is another one, but I would expect the '1600 to be the better audio component. If you can spend a...

Reggie, so how do you like the '1600? :D Seriously though, I am glad to hear that you are enjoying the new toy. Now you are set with both DVD-Audio and SACD. Well done! I told you the '1600 would be much better than your now-defunct 'D721BK on the audio side. You said:

Reggie, interesting perspective. HTF is still the most even-keeled audio/home theater web site I've come across.

Reggie, I assume you are referring to "Denon Jeff", aka Jeff Talmedge. ;) If you learn anything there about the design of the '1600, let us know. While I love HTF, I have been meaning to get involved on AVS Forum. I should check that site out.

Reggie, you meant outputs, not inputs. ;) If you compare the back panels of the '1600 and 'RP56, you will notice that they are laid out in an identical fashion. In that vein, another pet peeve of mine is that the 5.1-channel outputs, stereo analog outputs, and component video outputs on the...

Donnie, the lack of a coaxial digital output on the '1600 is a pet peeve of mine given the price. The '1600 is based on the Panasonic DVD-RP56, which has no coaxial digital output. Denon should have considered infusing a dose of originality into the design of the '1600 before assigning it a $500...

Reggie, I think a megachanger would be a smarter purchase than the '370 since you have the 'C222ES. Regarding HDCD, I was giving my experience, but if you really are curious, you might want to give it a go in your system. It's all you! :)

Reggie, I am still trying to figure out something here. Is this for the same system where you are using the 'C222ES? I feel the 'C222ES is a very good CD player. Is there something you don't like about it? I know it doesn't offer HDCD decoding, but in my opinion, that is not a loss. It's just...

Ken, I can't speak for how the '1600 handles layer changes, as I don't own one. However, Denon has come fire under here and on similar web site because pricier DVD players like the DVD-2800, '3800, and '9000 show the chroma bug. Those players were designed in-house. The '1600, on the other hand...

Reggie, based on your recent upgrades ('C222ES and '1600), you are getting a taste for sound and build quality beyond what most mass-market megachangers deliver. Frankly, most megachangers out there will be lacking in comparison to your two new toys. That said, I think you will find a Sony ES...

Eric, that's not a bad price at all. Thanks.

Reggie or Eric, What did you guys pay for the '1600 through 6th Ave. Electronics? Reggie said:

Reggie, congrats. on your purchase. I have no doubt that the '1600 will blow you away on the audio side relative to the 'D721BK. Please do post your impressions of the '1600. I would be curious to hear how it compares to your 'C222ES with CDs.
