As luck would have it, Denon Canada DID have a DVD-5900 transport and they replaced it at no charge. The dealer was kind enough to test it out before they returned it to me, and the damn thing still won't play SACD or DVD-Audio disks. Denon must have tested it with a CD ... even though the actual problem was WELL documented. This is just comical now ... especially since it would play EVERTHING the first time it went in for service over a year ago.
The initial complaint was that there was no audio from the right rear output ... otherwise, it played fine. As far as I am concerned; Denon products are total crap, and Denon Canada are totally incompetent. I am done. Just had to rant. Thanks for listening everyone. I have decided to get rid of my DVD-Audio disks and stick with SACD exclusively. No more throwing good money after bad.

I had a Denon 2900 that was also a big POS (I'm sure my post are still on the forumn somewhere about this). Right now my brother has it and it still plays RBCD Ok but started skipping and freezing on DVD-A and SACD about a minute after the warranty period expired. The real pisser is that I hardly used it at all, most using a separate Transport-D/A to play my RBCD. If the Denon had more than 40 hours on it before it started failing I'd be surprised. Needless to say, no more Denon for me. I purchased an new Oppo DV-980H for $169.00 a few years ago and it and still plays every DVD-A and SACD just fine to this day. I wasn't going to spend big bucks on another player that might crap out after a year. I will admit that the Denon, when it worked, did sound a little better than the Oppo but for 7 times the price I would expect that. Well, wanting a little more quality than the Oppo I went online and scored a really nice condition Pioneer DV-59i player that sounds great and hasn't failed to play any of my DVD-A or SACD's since I bought it 6 months ago. The Pioneer set me back $145.00 ($125.00 plus $20.00 UPS) and I still see them in this range on e-bay. I would recommend you take a look at one and just make sure the e-bay seller offers a 7 day money back guarantee (I see that many do). I think most of these players are coming up for sale as their owners update to BluRay.
than just getting the highly regarded Oppo BDP93/95 that can play DVD-As and SACDs in addition to CDs and Blu-ray discs?
I assume you have your reasons that you don't want to discuss but you did bring the issue to the Asylum and it seems somewhat crazy, like cutting off your nose to spite your face.
... but it seems like a good time to sell my DVD-Audio disks and get some good money for them. I have a few SACD players, and I will have plenty to listen to ... since they are still being released. I am glad that some of you have settled on Oppo machines. Enjoy them.
