I can't compare the various players for you, but I have a Denon 2900 from Exemplar and it is outstanding. The build quality is strong and the sound is incredible. In my experience, a tube output stage really works so that is what I would look for. I don't know how the Denon stacks up against the high dollar units, but it did in my Opus 21 CDP. I love the Opus 21, but the Denon exposed its weaknesses. The Opus 21 had more clearly defined soundstaging, but the Denon is more musical (and it's still breaking in). Soundstaging is not my most important criteria. The music has to draw me in first.
Are the Denons the Best Universals to Mod?
Hello,
I have been reading alot about all these places that do mods to the Denon DVD-2900, DVD-3910, etc.
I was just wondering if the Denon universal disc players are the preferred players to mod compared to others such as Pioneer, Marantz, Onkyo, etc?
If so, what are the reasons these units are generally preferred over the others for modifications?
After the mods, is the Redbook CD performance as good as the high dollar dedicated CD players?
Is the SACD performance as good as the best dedicated SACD players?
Thanks in advance!
