Hi,
I originally posted a query on the back of this thread:

but I now need urgent advice, as I've managed to locate a dv27a and need to make an urgent decision on whether to buy it or not. If I'm not quick I may lose out. It's an ex-display unit, and I've been told it's in excellent condition and comes with 2years warranty, for £999.
My query was:
Please give me your views on the above and whether you think this is good buy/wise investment.

My query was:
I was wondering if anyone has experience of comparing the DV27A against the Denon 3910.
I only have a CRT display with SCART RGB so component and HDMI are not a priority for me at the moment, but when I do get a plasma/lcd in the future, I'd like to be able to make use of the superior connections. As the DV27A doesn't have HDMI, how much of a loss in picture quality would that be over the HDMI connection of the Denon? Is HDMI that much more better than component?
I already have an AVR300, so the DV27A seems like the obvious choice, but I don't want to be left with outdated technology when similar priced models are offering future-proof choices.
CD playback isn't important either as I'd be connecting it to my Tri-vista DAC. However DVD-A is of interest. With Denon's i-Link, would DVD-A sound better than the DV27A?
Please give me your views on the above and whether you think this is good buy/wise investment.
