3910 DACs are the same as in 3930, both operating in differential mode. In my experience, bypassing the AL24 processor brings better sonics.

The real problem is that (just as every universal or SACD player) the PCM is being attenuated (truncated) in order to equalize with the lower level of DSD (SACD). This is one of the reasons why CD performance is not that great on most universal or SACD players compared to dedicated CD players.

What really makes the 3930 performance superior compared to 3910 is the new linear power supply for DAC/Analog stages. 3910 is entirely supplied by a noisy switching power supply.

Alex
