Denon DVD-1910....

h033DVD1910-f_MT.jpeg

Talked to the guys at a local high-end shop and they recommended this one. One of the key features that sold me was the DVI connection. They had one hooked up to a Pioneer set and the picture was awesome. It's only been out for a couple of months and it's already received some decent press from the folks at Secrets of Home Theater & High Fidelity HERE. I got it for about $140 more than the Toshiba ($210) but I think it will be worth it. Some of the other features are...

- DVI digital video output with HDCP copy protection (selectable 480p/720p/1080i output)

- Burr-Brown PCM-1756 192kHz/24-bit audio D/A converter

- Faroudja DCDi de-interlacer with 3-2 pulldown processing

- Dual, discrete 54MHz/10-bit video DACs (one for progressive-scan and one for interlaced video)

- Optical and coaxial digital outputs for Dolby Digital/DTS/PCM

- Plays digital picture CDs (JPEG)

- Plays DVD-Video, DVD-R & DVD-RW, DVD+R & DVD+RW, Video CD, CD, CD-R & CD-RW, and MP3 and WMA CD-R & CD-RW

Unfortunately Sears delayed delivery if my new TV until next Monday the 29th. However the new DVD player is IN THE HOUSE...ready and waitin'...

    Thanks Mark...I'm pumped.

    Now that my job situation is just about cleared up...I may be able to take a road trip soon to see you and Jesse and pick up the SDAs. I'll let you know.

    Sounds good. I just removed the crossovers to upgrade the binders this weekend.

    I also affixed new feet for the bottoms, as the old ones were cracked and/or missing.

    New tweeters, new binders, new feet....they are gonna be a sweet addition to your home Shackdaddy.
