What about dvds or cds or sacds that don't have the protective coating?

Even with the items built by others, their are differences in build quality between the denon versions. Power supplies, circuity, lots of things get changed. It's not like you're buying the same player with a denon name slapped on the front.
I have nothing against paying $500 for a blu-ray player if someone makes a good one at that price point. Hell, I love my A1 and it only cost me $450. But I stand by my earlier statement that people who refuse to believe there can be any good reason to buy a piece of equipment that costs more are usually ones who can't afford it so they feel the need to make themselves feel better by denying the benefit. "Oh, a new Ferrari costs $175,000? Well my Kia gets me from one place to another just fine so people who buy Ferrari's are stupid! There's no difference after all, they both have an engine and four wheels!"
