Hi, all-
I need help in choosing my new DVD player now. After a lot of research, etc, it really comes down to these two models--Denon 2910, or Denon 3910. The 3910 is the higher-end model, but I'm trying to decide if the extra $500 or so cost is really justified for me. Hopefully those of you that know these two models and not only their specs but their real-life performances can shed some light to help me choose.
Looking at the Denon data from their website, a few differences in features are evident. However, since I use a Parasound pre/processor, I really don't think I'll have any use for the Denon link or IEEE1394 jacks on the 3910. Similarly, I don't use any sort of Crestron RS-232 controls for my theater system (unfortunately) so I don't think I'd use that either.
Other than that, the two units look very very similar in specs. Universal players that do HD-like upconversion. So what would I really be gaining with the 3910?
I'd be using the piece primarily for DVD video playing, upconverted to 720p on a large 119" diagonal front projection screen. I would use the universal audio capability, although less frequently.
Any insight? Experiences with how these two actually perform real-life?
