Stereophile's website has given details from day one of CES:
"Denon and Linn, on the other hand, premiered DVD-Audio/DVD-V/SACD players, thus joining the ranks of Pioneer, Marantz, Onkyo, and several others in offering universal machines. Denon's new model, the DVD-2900, is $999 at retail. It incorporates Burr-Brown DSD-1790 24-bit/192kHz audio D/A converters as well as full digital bass management for DVD-Audio and SACD with selectable crossover slopes."
I predicted that Denon's universal player would be under a grand. In fact, it has the same msrp as the new Yamaha and Onkyo universal players. It would be great to see all three in a shootout. If anyone does get photos of the Denon, please post them here. I am curious about the units build quality and the chip it employs for video. I am certain that it will have the new FL2300 Dcdi faroudja chip and not the Silicon chip found it the more expensive 3800 and 9000. Either way, I hope this player turns out to be a winner.
