Let me confirm that I understand what you are saying Andrew. You are saying that you would not expect much difference between the PS3 and the 2500? That sounds like the sort of thing I would say, but I am a heretic. Given that the Denon used to be £900 why did anyone buy it?
Build quality justifies a premium
Used to cost £900.00 , I have one and no way was it worth £900.00, but for £399.00 it must be demod against anything else out there
Profile 1 and slow loading also would not need to be a concern to any purchaser , it isn't /wasn't for me
The difference in sound quality with my Yamaha Z7 compared to PS3 , now that my Z7 decoders can do there job is massive
Picture quality is better but not to such a degree
I am glad you are happy with it - my Denon DVD 1920 was (still is) a great product so I have no anti Denon agenda. You say that slow loading does not bother you - I am sure you are right, although I know it would bother me. As a matter of interest, do you happen to have a copy ot terminator 2 skynet edition? This is the slowest loading blu-ray I have come across, I would be interested in how long it is from turning on player to watching the opening frames of the film.
I dont have that disc sorry , but the thread is Where to buy one , not the debate on one player V better than another plenty threads here on that
