In my first tech podcast, I interviewed Denon’s own Director of Product Development, Jeff Talmadge, to discuss the new super AVP-A1HDCI pre/pro and POA-A1HDCI 10CH power amplifier. We discuss these products in great detail including what upgrades are to come for them and what lies ahead in the Denon product roadmap. We also discuss Denon’s plan to unveil a truly universal DVD Player that also supports Blu-ray (but not HD DVD). In this podcast, you will also discover how their new $500 esoteric D.Link cable releases magical audio pixies to ensure you get the most out of these upper echelon products.  This interview is chock full of great Denon info so you won't want to miss it!

Guys;

one of the top level tech guys from Denon confirmed the SACD bass issue I found 2 years ago with their latest firmware. They managed to get Denon Japan to confirm it too. Hopefully this means they will fix the issue with a firmware release since they broke it sometime in 2010 when they updated the firmware back then. Fingers crossed and I will keep you posted!

I do not doubt you are correct, you can do anything it is just a matter of time and money. I guess that I would investigate to see the cost, does it effect the warranty or is it something that Denon is doing as a future upgrade, along with the possibility of a 1.4 hardware upgrade. At this time since I talked to Denon last week, they have no plans to do anything with the AVP until at least sometime after March of 2011, at the earliest.

thanks. i just hate buying electronics, especially high cost electronics, just to find out that the new model is coming out in a few weeks.......still not sure if i will get the current avp.....

Dude - just get that double hernia fixed! Then order 2 POAs.


I don't have the double hernia.

I have NEVER hurt my back.

I know my limitations.

No way. That might scratch the pretty surfaces of the components. No way.

If I cannot lift my amps with my bare hands without any problems and place them nice and easy without risk of scratching the components, then I will not buy the amps.

Like Dirty Harry says, "A man's gotta know his limitations!"
