Re: Huh! NAD T585 Universal Player. How'd we miss this?!

I hadn't heard of this either--it appears to be relatively new, kind of a "dumbed down" version of the M55 universal player? I never liked the styling of the M55 anyway, so this newer universal player is welcome. (I have a NAD T 751 surround sound receiver).

At the link below, you might get a little (more?) information than at the web site.

It would be interesting to compare the NAD T585 (at $1199) with the new Denon DVD-3930CI (at $1499). It is reviewed at the audioholics site; here is the link:

http://www.audioholics.com/productreviews/avhardware/denon-DVD-3930CI-DVD-playerp1.php

The reviewer REALLY likes the Denon! YMMV. It does retail for more, but it probably outperforms the NAD on the video front . . .

Does the Denon 3930CI converts DSD to PCM? I think so, if only because the higher priced Denon 5910CI has separate PCM and DSD decoders, whereas the 3930CI doesn't mention separate decoders. Can someone confirm this? Pardon my ignorance--is the difference audible to most audiophiles?

Also, the Denon has HDMI 1.1; does the NAD have the same? It's a pity neither have HDMI 1.3, but that is just beginning to appear in hardware.

Also note the Denon can "upconvert" standard DVDs all the way to 1080p, not just 1080i as with the NAD. Happy shopping.
