so it looks like this unit does have the same video processing as the 2010? looks like the 4010 may be missing NSV but it is hard to tell from the website--if anyone knows how the video on teh 2010 and the 4010 differ with some precision it would likely be something many would be interested in--seems like this may be a popular unit given that it is a udp esp among the oppo skeptic crowd.

wow--seems like an audiophile version of the oppo. anyone know a release date?
bb dac's all around? which ones?

not sure i understand--why would they use an inferior chip on a more expensive player?

I think that people have their favorites but both are top notch chips--clearly denon feels that the hqv processing is a step above--besides it looks bad enough that they have the same video processor in their $2k unit as the $500 oppo but utilizing the same one in their 4.5 k unit would be a bit embarassing--then again lexicon is going to be pawning their oppo rebadge for 3k or more so I guess there is just no shame in the industry to begin with...

i assume that like the a1 they (denon) assume youll be using denonlink or analog--high res over hdmi would give people the option of utilizing a non denon avr or prepro. it does seem a bit presumptuous to me esp this day in age and without the same akm dacs and truly balanced analog in the a1. but then again im a consumer not a company trying to sell products in a recession...

nonetheles, seems to me if they had this machine when i got my sony 5000 i would have gone for it without a second thought over the sony or pioneer 09 esp with 3d on the horizon.

i think the 3800 at the going prices is quite a steal given the innards and build quality, especially given the vertical stretch (which was new to me as well). it will be great to see how the hqv in the 3800 compares to the 2010 chipset in the 4010. really the 4010 will be a 5910 with blu ray capability--cant wait for this thing to show up!

so the 2010 chipset in the 4010--this does both scaling and deinterlacing, correct? or is it limited to scaling as in the lower end models?

also it looks like the disk drawer is similar to the much touted one in the a1--anyone know if the loading tray is the same?

good point! quite a steal at the going rate (5910)

looking forward to your results

all true. so there are 2 ref models--one with abt the other with realta, one with balanced outs and akm dac's versus bb and no balanced. apparently denon believes they are both reference quality. will be interesting to compare them side by side when the 4010 comes out.

any word on a release date or is it shipping yet?
