Obviously there is a market for this kind of "high-end" equipment. I can't claim to be an expert on this particular device (there isn't much info out there about it yet) but apparently Denon believes that the technology in it (like the Precision Drive Mechanism, etc.) are worth a bit more than other players.

We'll see what Meridian does with their upcoming hidef player. If it is similar to the low-priced Denon, then I will call it out with the same problems. The higher price Denon offers some things that the sub-$1000 players do not (Realta chipset) and therefore you could argue that you are getting something more for your money. The lower priced one just looks like a cash-in for people who aren't all that savvy, using a fancy term (transport) that is not even accurate in order to make it look more attractive.
