In the past year or so I have tried many different players, from Oppo, Marantz, Yamaha, Pioneer, etc. All of them had issues with certain disc's, especially DVD-R's. The Denon 1940ci so far has read everything I've thrown at it, even badly scratched disc's. from Amazon.com I purchased the 1940ci as an obvious upgrade to give to my parents to replace their DVD/VHS combo player. The Denon website lists the digital to analog converters (DACs) as Burr Brown PCM-1738. from Amazon.com Simply put, for the money you just cannot touch this quality with any other brand. The Denon DVD 1940-CI may not have all of the bells and whistles of your local 'Best Buy' brands like Sony, LG...blah blah, but it sounds better, it built to last, and looks a helluva lot sexier. I have replaced my dvd player 3 times in as many years with those out of the box $99. from Amazon.com I spent some time researching upconverting DVD players and found that the Denon DVD 1940CI was favored by other reviewers on several other sites - and they were right. This player's upconverting technology may not match Blue Ray's clarity and rich detail, but it makes an amazing impact on my 1080p LCD. from Amazon.com I've had a number of Philips DVD players which seem to have had a lifespan of 9-12 months before locking up, requiring disassembly to rescue a captive DVD. I decided to try the Denon 1740 first and was surprised at how well it worked. from Amazon.com I ordered it [...] at 8ave.com thru Amazon and received the player few days later. I plugged it in and clearly saw and heard the difference between this player and my old Denon player. This player read the dics much faster. from Amazon.com SACD playback is also quite good. No it won't sound like a Krell or top-of-the-line Sony ES but its 90% for a pittance. Forget the video upscaler as it isn't very good, but if your TV has a good upscaler just set the 1940 to output 480p and let your tv do the rest. Better cd and SACD than my Oppo 980H but not as good an upscaler. from Amazon.com This is by far one of the best dvd players I have seen for the price Luckily I paid even less than amazon's price from Amazon.com If you wanna a complete and reliable DVD set, out of doubt Denon 1940 is one of the best option. Affordable, read all DVD and CD formats including SACD, provide excellent image resolution and amazing sound quallity. from Amazon.com I purchased my 1940ci in November of 2007. We don't watch many DVD's, so it was about a week before we used it...it was a great unit...for a total of two movies. from Amazon.com
