My how Denon has continued to evolve and extend its market presence. Back in the day, no way you would see a Denon component for $400, yet when all their direct competitors are releasing expensive Blu-ray players, Denon comes in cheaper and feature filled. Not a bad deal. The new Denon DBP-1611UD might not have all the bells and […]
Read moreThis problem has been around for so long, it’s slightly insulting that it’s taken this long to resolve.
