In Reply to: RE: Marantz BD8002 Blu-Ray Player - this could be THE ONE. posted by racerguy on June 24, 2008 at 21:38:49
"Guess what? It's a Denon DVD-3800BDCI under the covers :-)"
I know, and I've no complaints with Denon when it comes to the technology behind the video which is the best I've seen (and why I have a Denon now), but the Denon house 'sound' is underwhelming and the build quality of their latest BluRay players is a backwards step from their DVD players.
Marantz can be expected to deliver a far better sound quality from the audiophiles point of view with better analogue output stages and better power supplies, which is also important for HT when I'll be using the 7.1 analogue outputs.
That's what I expect then from Marantz, but whether that's what will be delivered we'll have to wait and see. :0)
Best Regards,
Chris redmond.
Follow Ups:
Concur. All that I'm hoping for is that Marantz improves the audio on the unit. It's also nice that Marantz is confirming that DD+ is internally decoded leaving only DTS-HD incapable of being internally decoded (although lossless DTS-HD MA is able to be internally decoded); although from what I can tell, very few discs have only DTS-HD so it's a non-issue in any case.
Shouldn't be long now as first units have shipped.
