Denon AVD-2000
It took me some time before i bought this unit, i really researched for the best ac3 decoder on market, and i found that this unit has all the inputs and outputs that i need for the future, compared to other decoders that is already obsolete for they do not have that 6 channel analog inputs... and aside from that, the unit performs terribly well! I matched my denon avd2000 to my yamaha rxv592...
so to anyone planning to upgrade their system to ac3, you can never go wrong with this one...DTS..? I really don't care for they don't have that many dvds on market anyways, but still if you decide to upgrade to dts, just plug it in the denon...!

I am glad that I bought a AVD-2000 DD decoder.I bought it for the amount of $129.00 with three years of extended warranty. My system is made up of a Yamaha RXV-2090 DD ready receiver, a DDP-2 DD decoder which I got rid of when I bought the Dennon AVD-2000, A-300 Panasonic DVD player,a Dennon DCM-460 CD player with analogs and coaxial digital output. I use both outputs to compare the sound, and I can hear a big difference. I was blown away by the sound.

I use this piece as a DD decoder matched with the Denon 2400 and am fully impressed with its performance. To tell you how many things this unit can do, I have one input for DVD, one for CD, one for laserdisc (RF), and one for computer. Yes, believe it or not, I have a SoundBlaster Live sending a SPDIF signal to the decoder. The sound is unbelievable!

Denon AVD-2000
I got mine in Feb. '98 and paid $400, reasonable considering it had only been on the market for a month or two. I intended to buy the Sony EP9ES but found the Denon to be as good in terms of sound and build quality with more useful features than the Sony. The fact that it was nearly $300 cheaper wasn't a huge factor (though it certainly didn't hurt), it's just that the Sony didn't offer anything important to me that the Denon lacked. The 20-bit Burr-Brown DACs make my $250 CD changer sound as good as most $2,000 CD players I've heard, and the "Matrix" DSP mode is outstanding. I kind of like the small remote but because of the shape it is easy to grab it upside down by touch alone. This is not a problem for me because I have the Marantz RC2000 Mk. II remote now. It does get fairly hot even when it is just on and no signal is fed to it. I had to rearrange the components in my equipment rack for fear of melting the processor. I think it is still the best bang for the buck digital pre/pro available, and no excuse needs to be made for its sound, even in a high dollar high-end system.

I have been predisposed to buying Yamaha products in the past. I have a Yamaha DSP-A2070 (Dolby pro-logic predecessor to the DSP-A1) and a Yamaha DSP-E492 (this makes my A2070 upgradeable to DD/DTS). I spent a month shopping for a Dolby Digital/DTS decoder before I bought the Denon AVD2000. I am ecstatic that I waited and bought this unit (175 at UBID.COM). This unit is worth 3 times the price I paid for it

Build quality = 10
This unit is solid and immediately after taking out of the box you will realize that Denon did not skimp on this unit

Features = 20
I have to give this double the rating on features. You can program the distance you sit from the speakers, control the volume of each speaker and the sub separately, choose the size of the speakers, dialog normalization, cinema equalization to tame bright movie soundtracks etc, etc.

Performance = 20
Boy does this unit perform! I will pay attention to Denon products in the future after buying this baby. This unit automatically chooses the broadcast of source material i.e. Dolby Digital or Pro-Logic. Some units have problems recognizing the DVD signal and you have to manually chose Dolby Digital or Pro-Logic ala Technics SHAC500d

To make a long story short, this unit is excellent. I would rather have an excellent Dolby Digital unit than a decent DD/DTS unit.

Excellent decoder for the $. I bought this for $199 at Tweeter Etc. , and have laughed all the way to a great sounding home theater. The rest of the system includes the Harman Kardon PA 5800 amp, HK PT 2500 preamp, Toshiba 2108 DVD (no drop outs yet), PSB Century speakers (600i, 300i, 200i). I have to say this is the best I could find for my budget of $2000.
As for the decoder, I find the capabilities up to snuff with any of the top decoders built (internal or external). The 6 channel input is a definite plus, and the 5 channel stereo is good for quiet backround music during parties, or quiet times. As for the other sound fields, I am not a fan of any echo effects, and so I don't play with them.
For Dolby Digital and 5 channel stereo it is a very solid unit.
Top rating for this fine piece of mid fi

This processor does an excellent job with DD. In cludes two optical, two coaxial, one rf, 6 channel ins and optical output. $161 at webauction, how can you beat that.
