Good to hear trevor! All channels equal,you cant go wrong with your modd 2900. I mean lets face it, your comparing to a $7000 unit and accomplished nearly the same sound(in only two channel). Im so amazed with my 2900, I cant stop buying sacd and dvd audio discs. There are times when I wonder...
If you live in canada, Walter at Underwood Hifi can ship a modd unit to you in two days, you dont pay gst or pst, and shipping is around $30.00, very good deal....but you are charge in usa funds.
Hi Mac, For sure use your denon 2900 for dvd a, sacd(it would be the only way) and reg cd. To do this properly you have to use the analog outputs on your player. Like trevor said, it is unlikely your a/v will have 6.1 in analog. I personally use my digital out for all movies. My a/v does an...
Trevor, No doubt on the min 200 hours. Walter did tell me to do this for 8 to 10 days. I read recently in HT mag that for some reason these sacd and dva machines(multi) do require extensive use for the sound to come together. I don't really understand why. I do understand speakers and a/v's...
Do you think 175 hours of repeat play on your dvd player will improve your sound? Up to yesterday I was not to impressed with 2 channel music from a regular cd. The sound lacked bass and imaging and depth.....until the 175 hour of play. All of sudden I was hearing detail I never heard before...
I called Walter and he will checking on firmware discs. If you dont know, Walter is from www.underwoodhifi.com if you are interested in any Modd units.
Calling all denon 2900 owners! Please post all your positive and negative aspects of your player. Anyone having any problems or setup issues? Anymore modd 2900's out there?
Hi Everyone! In the beginning I started this thread with the Phrase.."I love my Denon 2900!";) As the story goes,I was so impressed I thought, Well if the 2900 is that good, the 5900 must be out of this world! After debating the question of up grading like many did with the 2900 I started to...
So I would take it you like your new modd 2900 Trevor? The returns on something like this can turn out to be only minimal at the best of times, but with high end audio, thats all it takes to make it worth it. Have to go and watch a movie now.........have fun tweaking.;)
Gee trevor you have patients of steel....I had my player on repeat since 5:00pm Weds. Walter said to do this for 8 to 10 days!I have watched 3 movies since then.......could not hold off, to many movies to catch up with. Like I have mention to walter, I notice real difference in Video already...
I ordered a new modd unit, so I dont have one here to compare to as I only had 30 days to return my old one. My old unit was returned last weds. Dont matter, I know whats under the hood! that is all that realy matters.;)
My modd 2900 arrived today, pretty good only 3 days after ordering. As recommended you have to break in for 200 hours before critical listening. I hope trevor will give ya review on friday when his 200 hours up. In mean time mine will be playing from now to next week before I will do any...
I had the 2900 home for a month..........in a few days I will have a new Modd 2900! At least if I cannot hear the difference I will know that my 2900 is equiped like a turbo charged V8ex.:D
How does your Modded 2900 sound Trevor? I ordered one today, not as beefed up as yours, but with level one. I owned the stock 2900 for 1 month and was very impressed with the sound it produced,so the modified version should be incredable!;)
My 2900 is quiet. There is no noise at all, you cannot here the disc spin. When you load a disc, you can hear the tray open, but thats it. It does take the disc a little longer to load than Im use too. I also notice if you hit the open button then insert a disc, and push play instead of close...
Did some checking around,the 5900 would cost us canadians about $1400.00 more than the 2900......gee thats a lot. Any canadians find a dealer yet that carries the 5900? If I go for the 5900 I have 17 days left before the 30 day return is over. Anyone order from the states?
I just cant help notice all the talk across the boards about the new denon 5900 in regards to the 2900..."I feel sorry for the people who bought the 2900"...."the 2900 was just a test"....."the real machine is the 5900". I just paid $1592.00can for the 2900 and very happy with it so far. The...
