Denon DVD-A1UD high-end universal Blu-ray player - Tech Digest
Okay, I'll have to admit I asked for this a bit. In my last post about Denon Blu-ray players I demanded to know what Denon would describe as 'high-end', after their 'entry-level' player cost £600. Well, this is it. It's the catchily-named DVD-A1UD, and it'll play back Blu-ray discs, Super Audio CD (SACD), DVD-Audio, DVD-Video and plain old CDs. The DVD-A1UD is the replacement for the Denon's previous universal DVD player - the DVD-A1XV. Full specs are over the jump. It costs a massive £3,300. I can safely say that I don't know anyone who'd splash out £3,300 on a DVD player, but someone must, or they wouldn't make the damn thing. It's going to show up across Europe in March 2009, in either a silver or black finish. Who knows, perhaps by then you'll be rolling around in pots of money. Denon can only hope.
