I bought the Denon 1920 a couple of months back but have suffered with occasional lipsync issues, even since the lastest firmware upgrade to 1.24 - connected to the new Sony 50" lcd rear pro (KDF-E50A12) by HDMI.
I now have an opportunity to upgrade the DVD player to a Pioneer 868 for an extra £250.
Other than hopefully solving the lipsync issues, do you think I would notice an improvement in picture and/or sound quality with the Pio compared to the Denon? Has anyone directly compared the 2? The Pio is an older model, although much more expensive, so I wondered whether the newer Denon would be as good picture and sound wise given the advancments in technology and consequent reduction in manufacturing costs. As I said, would I really see a difference?
I can't demo the 868 and have to decide within the next 48hrs, so your thoughts and comments would be appreciated. Haven't made my mind up whether £250 is worth paying just to get rid of the occasional lipsync problems!
Cheers
Colin
