    Is the Sony BDP-S790 Blu Ray player a good enough match for a Denon AVC-A1HDA Amplifier?

    Original question: Is the Sony BDP-S790 Blu Ray player a good enough match for a Denon AVC-A1HDA Amplifier? Thank you both. The other important question is will the DVD playback be significantly better than my existing Denon 3930 DVD player?
