Question about Denon 2900 vs. 3910

I am told the transport is superior in the 3910. It certainly makes less noise. While I have had neither unit stock, the Exemplar mods on the 3910 far surpass those on the 2900. The 2900 is discontinued.

Wow...I am surprised nobody gave you more details on this. In a nutshell, the 3910 is basically the 5900 performance (with better video I might add) at less than half the cost. The 2900 is nowhere near the caliber of the 3910. Trust me, I own both!

Yes, the 2900 is a bulletproof performer, but the 3910 is at this moment the best player out there, lb for lb (or shall I say, $ for $)

I like my modified (Exemplar) 3910 but the new Denon 5910 clearly is superior both in audio and video. If you are into video, which I am not, this is the universal player for you, as judged by all the video reviews I have read.

Great research Ssabripo and thanks.
Here is The Absolute Sound review on the 2900, (in a nutshell; the audio quality has to catch up with the surperb video. They praise the 2200 though).

TAS reviews are dated when they come out. The 5910's video puts all others to shame including all earlier and continuing Denon units. I worry about having a 5910 around since its video is so good that I might be tempted to look into HT even though I want nothing of it.
