Thread: Delectable Denon is a Blu-ray DVD Player

Delectable Denon is a Blu-ray DVD Player, TURN m PAGE 70 and you'll fi nd the best new budget Blu - ray decks from Panasonic and Sony: here, the price tag is altogether more substantial, and the appeal more select.The Denon DVD-2500BT Blu¬ray transport is aimed at dedicated home cinema enthusiasts: it doesn't have any analogue audio outputs, and doesn't even have coaxial or optical digital sockets. If you want one, you'll need an amp, TrueHD. Given the Denon's price, it'd be right at home with anything such as Yamaha's DSP-AX863SE (P27) or Denon's own AVR-2809 (tested next issue). This player's colour vitality, detail retrieval and uncanny realism is just stunning. It's so good, it's able to take discs we've known and loved for many a month - Training Day, I Am Legend - and give them a whole new lease oflife.


Reds are redder, blacks denser, edges sharper, while three-dimensionality increases and motion-stability seems more assured. It genuinely is a turbocharger for yourtelly (and . that's on our reference-grade Pioneer plasma, itself no slouch).If that seems impressive, the audio is even more remarkable. It imbues everything you listen to with more weight and realism, more scale and drama; gunfire seems weightier and more menacing, voices sounds more natural and characterful. The icing on the cake for this machine is DVD replay. The DVD¬2500BT will upscale your DVDs to ro80p (should you need it), and while Denon makes no great claims The heavyweight build and smooth mechanism of the Denon feels much classier than budget players.
