The difference between the audio quality of the Denon and Pioneer is marginal, but there are lots of people who swear that the difference is easily heard. I doubt it. But just knowing the fact that the Denon uses 4 (yeah, FOUR) Burr-Brown 1704 DAC chips in a balanced config (but no balanced analog output?) may just make the Denon sound better than the Pioneer by default. And you'll certainly feel better and sleep better at nights (or perhaps even during the daytime) knowing that your DVD/CD player uses the same DAC chips as Mark Levinson No 360S and 30.6.What does your heart tell you? Always do what the heart tells you...Anakin Skywalker does.
I have found that the Pioneer DV-09 had less bass and did not sound as good as a 10 year old JVC or Denon cd player. Keep a CD player for music.
Just because the Denon DVD uses the same chips as Mark Levinson Does NOT mean they will sound the same. There is a lot more to it than the DACs.
but I've evaluated the DV-09 at length in many system configurations with far better digital equipment than what you mention.I found the DV-09 warm balanced in a variety of sytems, as have the professionals who have reviewed it. It does not equal my $4k digital rig, but I find it hard to imagine that most people would agree with your findings.
