Just finishing playing for my new 5900 for 6 hours. All I can say is wow!
This thing is so HUGE it's even bigger in size then my Bryston 4BSST! Prepare your rack for a big piece of equipment, maybe 50% bigger then my Denon DVD-3800.
Nice box, with a Denon link cable and a Firewire cable both included.
So much tweaking, it's unbelievable. Cannot list all the tweaks in that unit, it would take 3 pages long... But everything is there, even chroma delay adjustment!
Because the DVI-D is not already activated (will be in 1 week or 2...), I have access only to the component video outputs. Sorry for all the DVD-3800 owners, but there is a new king in town! I've never seen an image so 3D like and I change my source every 6 months! Awesome black levels, details, no softness at all. All sharp and clear. The image is crisper and more sharp then the 3800. I don't believe it. What a nice surprise. Just imagine what the DVI upscaling will be able to produce and I'm drooling on my keyboard!
For DVD-A, it's a little bit in front of the 3800. For SACD, it's a good step-up in front of the 2900!
I think we finally have a really good DVD-A/SACD combo! Play boths format incredibly well.
I think that for once Denon did actually delivered the goods. The 5900 perform like a flagship unit.
I just used everything in the default settings. But know I will compare the source direct and multi settings with my Anthem DAC's and DSP. I still have to compare the sound when the Anthem is doing all the tweaks (source direct) and when it's the Denon controlling everything.
Wow. What a unit. Awesome value.
Beware Pioneer Elite and Marantz... there is a new king in town.
