tim3 Posted November 29, 2007 Share Posted November 29, 2007 Can anyone tell me if the Denon dvd-3910 is worth $550 more than the Denon dvd-2910?Allthough I watch dvd's,I'm purchasing it for music.I did'ntt know if the 3910 just had a lot more bells and whistles.Also,what is a sacd vs. a regular cd?Thank you to everyone that has been giving me feedback!I'm learning a lot.This forum is definatly heads and shoulders over the others I've tried.I could'nt buy any audiophile information from anybody.Thanks again,Tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay481985 Posted November 29, 2007 Share Posted November 29, 2007 I own the denon 2910 and got it dirt cheap for 200 dollars at bestbuy magnolia when they were clearing them out. It sounds very well though I have never heard the 3910. My profile tells of what I am running. SACD is a practically dead format that offered 5.1 true channels and had a 10-100000 hertz range even though you can normally hear 25-20000ish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimmy4300 Posted November 29, 2007 Share Posted November 29, 2007 I also have a 2910, bought after the release of the 3910. As I recall the 3910 has the ability to "upconvert" to a maximum of 1080P, the 2910 to a maximum of 1080I. Since my Phillips Plasma is 1080I, the 2910 was enough for me. I'm happy with my decision.

capo72 Posted November 29, 2007 Share Posted November 29, 2007 I believe the 3910 has better DAC's and a better power supply.I looked at both and could not justify the price difference. I went with the 2910 and it has been fine for me. Jeremy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IndyKlipschFan Posted November 29, 2007 Share Posted November 29, 2007 I am happy with the 2910 as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kelA Posted December 1, 2007 Share Posted December 1, 2007 I have the 3910. I bought it on closeout about a year ago. It will upconvert to 1080i. These units have been discontinued for a little over a year now. I would not pay more than $500 for a unit. I paid 450 for mine with the full warranty, which I needed, because I had to get it repaired. The laser assembly was bad. It was at Denon for 2 months, while they tried to find a part in Japan. I hear there are alot of reports of this assembly going bad. Mine started with a noisy disc sound, and then it had dificulty reading a disc all together. I believe the 2910 and 3910 use the same assembly. When it works, the performance is very good. Since they have been discontinued for so long, you should be able to get a very good deal on either of these units. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
