Peculiar Find at Costco: $69 Denon Universal Player

[L.J.]

Cool! Glad that you were able to get your hands on one. When I spotted the Denons on Friday night, there were at least 12 of them in stock, and the stack was down to 6 by the time I bought mine on Sunday.

I'm happy with being able to play my SACDs again, and the DVD picture quality is very good. Disappointing to see that Denon still can't design a coherent user interface or owner's manual, but at $70 this is a bargain and I'm not gonna complain.

Would have been sweet if this unit could output DSD via HDMI. I would have considered replacing my 2910 with it. I'll probably grab a Oppo eventually to take some of the load of my PS3. My 2910 has been collecting dust since the PS3 came along

The Denon will look great in my 2nd system sitting next to my 2805 & DCM-380. Can't remember the last time I had 3 matching components in the same rack.

Only thing I need now is a cheap flat panel for occasional use in my 2nd system. Like dirt cheap, no more than 27". Vizio? Thoughts?
