Denon expands universal Blu-ray player range
Denon is expanding its range of universal Blu-ray players with two new models, the £600 DBP-2011UD and £400 DBP-1611UD.
Both are 3D-ready – or rather they will be when a firmware update is issued in late 2010 – and offer playback of Blu-ray, CD, SACD and DVD-Audio discs.
Network connectivity is standard, and both players are DLNA 1.5 certified for streaming of digital media from other DLNA products. There's 1GB of onboard memory for BD-Live playback, a USB connector and HDMI 1.4a support.
Denon promises fast loading times for even the most complex Blu-ray discs, and there's Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio decoding via HDMI.
Additional features include Kodak Picture CD compatibility, as well as DivX HD+, MP3 and WMA playback (all via either recordable DVD/CD or external memory).
The pricier DBP-2011UD model also gets a 32-bit/192kHz audio DAC, 7.1 channel analogue output, high-bit ABT2015 video processor and RS-232C port.
The Denon DBP-1611UD will be available in black from August; the DBP-2011UD comes out in September, and will be available in silver as well as black.

We always do test Blu-ray players for stereo as well as multichannel playback. And we'll review it as soon as we get hold of one.
When are you going to get your hands on the '1611 for a review??? Please review it as a stereo performer too!! Not just as a multichannel audio unit!!
Please can you comment on the analogue outs when you test these What HIFI? Cheers
