Have spent some time looking for a new player and decided on the Denon BDP1611. Given the problems before Christmas it seemed the chip supply had been resolved and players were now available. Tried to order today and although I could get hold of one I was advised by my friendly supplier that the Denon rep had just been in to say that no more orders were to be taken as the 1611, like its big brother, was being replaced with the 1612.
Can't say any of this fills me with confidence but my main concern is: what extra am I going to get in the new 1612 and what will it cost me ?
Unfortunately, the salesman at this time didn't know but as soon as Denon told him he would be in touch.
Anyone out there able to advise if it is worth the wait for the 1612 and what the likely cost is as I am still able to get the 1611 from existing stock?
