I read somewhere that that machine will cost over $3,000. I would only consider something like that if it did a really, really good job with DVDs, bluraycapability being a bonus.
That's MSRP for the 3800 and the Marantz 8002 will MSRP for $2099.
When I first heard about this player, the speculation on US pricing was way higher, and given where the dollar is going, I was afraid the price would be even higher.
"I would only consider something like that if it did a really, really good job with DVDs, bluraycapability being a bonus."
You have the same priority as myself then, and I'm looking for a DVD player capable of SOTA upscaling replay with Blu-Ray playback having to be obviously superior.
As it stands DVD replay via my present top spec Denon is a match for any Blu-Ray playback I've yet seen on a 42" screen, so unless I decide to invest in a projector the benefits of Blu-Ray aren't attractive when compared to the drawbacks, those being a very limited number of titles, much higher prices and players which at the moment are apparently lacking features and over priced.
Simply put, I don't ever watch DVDs since buying the Denon and feel like video quality is even an issue, but I certainly would if I bought a DVD player which wasn't as good as I have now.
I have the report of the Denon DVD-3800BD before me now, and the specs do look enticing.
Best Regards,
Chris redmond.
