Il famoso DenonJeff a cui fa riferimento Locutus2k in effetti è Jeff Talmadge - Director of Product Development di Denon.
Di seguito un thread su AVSforum relativo a alcune anticipazioni interessanti sul nuovo lettore:
Denon Blu-Ray/DVD/SACD/DVD-A/HDCD/Realta Universal Player Coming Feb/Mar 09
http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/showthread.php?t=1048326
Audioholics have posted an interesting Podcast with Denon Jeff. In it he mentions that there will be an annoucement of the player in November/December with a January/February release date in mind.
It will be entirely built inhouse (yay) and is based on the same standard as their previous High-End Universal player the DVD-5910.
It will also featured balanced 2 Channel outputs for CD playback for those that can take advantage of this.
Also it will feature:
- A successor to DL3 that will handle all digital clock management and jitter control for audio instead of HDMI
- New 32 bit digital upsampling and D/A conversion circuits
Pricing mentioned was going to be $3400 when they were going to included HD-DVD playback but since HD-DVD demise and Toshiba not making the optical lasers anymore HD-DVD has been dropped.
So I still invision $3000k for it and will gladly buy one to replace my current 2 Player solution.

Heres hoping that Denon:
- Redesign their GUI finally on the player to match those on their new AVR/AVP's, and more importantly since this is going to be a no holds player
- Match or better the Blu-Ray load times of the PS3. Since this won't be out until early 09 hopefully technology will catch up to make this possible or else Denon can just drop a Cell processor in to make this happen at the price point it is coming out at.
Ecco anche il tech podcast a cui si fa riferimento nel thread e relativo all'intervista di Gene DellaSala proprio a Jeff Talmadge:
AV Rant Techcast #1: Denon Interview
http://www.audioholics.com/news/editorials/denon-interview
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!
