Maybe the processing of the digital?

I'm a long time (like 40 years) analog fan but cannot agree with what you say about digital. I cannot comment too much about your components as I am unfamiliar with them but my (limited) experience is that, apart from careless software, and there is a lot of that around, it is the processing, or lack of it, of the digital signal that gives rise to bad music. Eliminating jitter in the digital signal is not easy or cheap and that jitter can arise in the player thereby giving any processor a near impossible task.

That said Denon has a good reputation so I wonder if it is not revealing problems in the synergy between the amplifier in the Denon and your Altec Lansing Voice of the Theaters. I suggest you try to borrow some other good speakers to verify the problem still exists before you condemn digital.

Sadly there is no free lunch and obtaining nice music from those pits is neither easy nor cheap. However with top software there is plenty of umph to be had from digital.
