My question is, what could the Denon offer that the Panasonic does not when all of the "fragile" conversions are done outside of the box?
Better reliablity might be one, but again you can buy two BD30s for the price of a BT-2500. And those BD30s have more features.
Video/audio quality? I'm not so sure. Again, there is no D/A conversion done inside the player. In the past the DAC was always the sticking point where you'd see the quality difference with audio quality (and video if using component). And no video processor here, which in the HD world seems to make the big difference with video quality. Are we back to the jitter argument?
Taxi, I know you are interested in the Denon, but this is a good area to have a discussion on. Instead of just spending $1000 on something "because its Denon and better," lets talk about what actually is different in the innards that could make it better.
The war is over so now we must move onto other topics, analyzing hardware is one of those topics.
