True Blue: The Sony was just trying to impress too much with artificially lurid colours and in your face sound rather than the subtelties of the Panasonic IMO.
I've never heard of this in any of the reviews I've read so far. How can a blu-ray player create "artificially lurid colours"?? Also, why would you allow your blu-ray player to decode audio when you've got the fantastic Denon 2310???
If you allow your Denon to decode audio, then you shouldn't be worried about how the player decodes audio. Your Denon receiver will do the job better than any blu-ray player IMHO.
If you still want your player to decode audio, the S370 excels here as well. According to
WHF review:
"The 'S370's talents extend to sound performance, too. The Sony edges out other players for outright resolution, but of greater significance is that it provides a wonderfully balanced, focused sound.
Whether listening to Faithless on SACD or the Gorillaz on CD, the Sony's extra insight and excellent timing ensures you're thoroughly entertained."
If you still want to spend more, then look at Panasonic BD85 as True Blue suggests, as well as
Cambridge Audio 650BD which excels in the sound department, or the
Sony S570 with IP Content Noise Reduction and Built-in 1GB Memory. Or wait until the Sony S770 is launched....which should be very soon.
Bigboss, as I said above it was IMO. I dont like the colours etc produced by the Sony to my eyes the Panasonic just looks more natural, less forced. Have you seen the two players? I was at the big question with various BRP's and yes they do all have their own personal interpretation of the information on the disc both sonically and visually.
I do bitstream to my Denon 2310. When I initially bought the BD85 it replace my BD35 into a denon 1909, everytihng had more clarity, both the visuals and the audio. Different transport, better components etc etc did produce noticable difference, even when bitstreaming.
