Warren, I highly recommend discovering DVD-A, which the Denon 3910 also supports. IMO, and in the opinion of others, it's superior to SACD. Check out Donald Fagan's "The Nightfly" for one excellent example.

It'll tickle your tympanics, and blow your mind. Honest.

Tvad, DVD-A? I'm not sure what that is. Is that the audio part of my DVD, or is it a specific recording? I've heard of these, but never followed up. I know the Denon can play them, so I'm veeerrryyyy interested, now. Please enlighen me. warren

DVD-A is a separate format entirely. DVD-A is to DVD like SACD is to CD. Multi channel audio, mostly.

Warrenh, I never realized you were such a virgin. :)

DVD-A is an alternate high resolution format to SACD. Buy the Fagan disc and play it. The rest will be self explanatory.
