Denon 3910..What next ?


My 3910 has served me very well. I am getting that upgrade bug and am wondering what to try next that would make spending 1000-1500 worth it.
I want to stay with a universal as I listen to DVD-A,SACD as well as DVD's fed to my CRT TV.I am not looking at HD yet .
I have a A.A. Prima for cd's .
I live in a very small community so auditioning is out of the question.
I would like to go the "used" route .
I have read good things about McCormack ,Lexicon .
Would very much like other suggestions.

Keeping to a stock unit--consider the Esoteric DV50s or send the 3910 out to be modded. The are several opinions on this forum on the best technitions for modding. I have a Denon 3910(for HDCD) and the Esoteric--both stock. Overall I'd take the Esoteric.
I've got a 2910 upgraded by David Schulte of the Upgrade Co. He carries Denon and Esoteric. I'd suggest giving him a call.

I'm all for a modded Denon, but I advise against paying retail for the mods.

There are plenty used modded Denons (and other universal players) that come up for sale on Audiogon.

Let the original owners take the massive depreciation hit.

Be smart and buy used.
