A high quality DAC and video processor is said to owe much to the high-end Denon models, while you'll find a dedicated two-channel input alongside the 7.1-channel output and HDMI connections.
All HD audio decoding is of course supported, as is BD-Live thanks to the 1GB internal memory. Extensive file support includes DivX Plus HD, MP3 and WMA files.
The Denon DBP-2012UD is available in silver or black and is due in March for £750.
