well, i do have st matthew's passion as per your recommendation, and i have listened to that on some of the players - not all, though.even though i haven't listened to the dvd-a11 yet, i've been told the dvd-a1 has a superior sound by denon themselves. bass management is not an issue because i always turn it off for maximum transparency.
i would buy the denon dvd-a1 tomorrow for the sound, except it is now obsolete and besides the video quality is too soft for me. the BB 1704 are still the *best* PCM dac around, imho. the 1792 or whatever may have better specs, but it is a hybrid dac whereas the BB1704 is a *pure* PCM DAC - no sigma delta.
as for you "defying" sacd titles to improve on your favourite titles, perhaps you should actually widen your experience of listening to sacd beyond the 1 title that you own, or have you bought more titles recently?
PS - the toshiba has a very nice, tight, and crystal clear sound. i don't think it loses ground compared to any of the new players, except in the video department. the 3800 i never really liked, so it definitely doesn't stand quite as tall as the others.
