I got the 'CE595 about a week and a half ago, and it's an excellent player for the money. Frankly, it's amazing that Sony can make a player that sounds this good for $150. With CDs, the 'CE595 sounds controlled and surprisingly...

I was floored by the bad review of the '2900 in the January/February issue of TAS. The '2900 has gotten excellent reviews in other magazines and on the web. It seems to me that TAS had an axe to grind in their hi-rez article in the...

For those of you who are against single-layer stereo SACDs because you don't want to have two copies of the same album, consider this. Assuming you already have the CD, buy the SACD, burn the CD to a CD-R, and sell the CD. Why have...

The only SACD players that Denon has available currently are "universal" players (DVD-Video, DVD-Audio, and SACD). In your price range, the player to look at is the DVD-2200 at $600. See www.crutchfield.com for more information. I...

Jigesh, I don't have the Sony 'C222ES, but I have a 'C333ES and 'C555ES in the same system as the '2900 and plan to do some comparisons. On its own, the '2900 sounds good, but I will do the comparisons. Chung, Thanks for...

Reggie, well, I have the '3800 and '2900 in different rooms. At this point, I don't plan on moving components around. If I do a direct comparison, I'll post the results. At this point, I have no complaints with either component. ...

Change the subject of this thread! I liked the Denon DVD-2200, but I couldn't help but wonder if I was missing something by not getting the '2900. It just kept eating away at me, as I felt like I was settling by going with the '2200....

I have found that budget hi-rez players handle the hi-rez formats better than they do CD. As an example, I found the Sony SCD-CE775 SACD/CD changer from a couple of years ago to sound quite good with SACDs but to be really weak with...

Nick, that's interesting. The salesperson I spoke to at Tweeter said the same thing. He said there was really no reason to spend the extra $400 for the '2900 because all you really got was better build quality. I realize that the...

Luis, thanks. Certainly one's system plays a role, and while my second stereo system isn't high-end, I can hear differences between players. I would hope that the higher price of the '2900 gets you better audio than the '2200, but I...
