We originally reviewed the Denon DVD-3800BD well before many other Blu-ray players came onto the scene. So, it is interesting to see how it handles the pressure of the newer players.The machine boasts typical Denon robustness in the form of a multi-layer heavy-duty chassis. Inside the pla...
If you’re looking for an all-round performer with plenty of features and ample scope for system expansion, then the 3800 is a superb choice. SCORES Sound5 Build5 Features5 Read our review of theDenon AVC-X3700H Also consider theYamaha RX-A6A ...
According to Oliver Kriete, Denon Product Manager in Europe, the DAC used in the x3800 is the Texas Instruments PCM 5102 and is the same as that used in prior models. Presumably the x3700 is included in that definition. This is curious considering the much better SINAD performance of the ...
