Well, I promised that I would drop back and comment on the Denon 5900 when it came in. We hooked it up tonight and because of the late hour (OK - I am 52 and 11:00 is nor "late" for me) we were only able to preview a few minutes of one or two DVDs. It may be the hour, or it may be that I do so want to really be bowled over by a player that costs what this one did, but we are bowled over! The video is simply amazing. The picture clarity is outstanding. Flesh tones are super-realistic and natural. And the audio is really something to behold. The gunfight in Open Range occasionally makes me jump as the crack of a pistol shot leaps over our heads.

OK. I am probably not being objective. But I am really impressed with the initial experience with this unit. After I hook up the 6 channel audio and get to listen to some DVD-A and SACD I will check back.

Thanks for listening!

Mike
