Quality CD playback with DVD?

[UFObuster]

Lot's of threads on this I know...but here goes:

The story: My weak link is my dvd/cd player. As reviewed, my Yamaha DVD-C750 is an adequate video player and decent "redbook" CD player. My complaint is that it's set-up lacks in bass management, and it's very SLOW loading...clunky. I'm using all Klipsch reference speakers (6.1) with Rotel separates. Don't yet want to get into the DVD-HD market. I'm mostly into music playback...good surround while preserving 2 channel capability and DVD-A, SACD, etc.

So, in 2007, is it possible to get decent CD quality and DVD playback in the same box? I'm looking at short-term solutions for video such as Oppo products, however, I'm very attracted to the old Denon 2910 which I hear has very good music playback with good video features. It's still available at great discounts....under $400.

I'm sure there will be a good dedicated CD player in my future...maybe a Jolida....but for now, I need a reasonable compromise that compliments my current system. Suggestions or other comparisons ?

Thanks, Roger

The 2910 is a solid music player and has decent bass management for SACD and DVD-A, which is separate from DVDs. I use my 2900 for both and it does very well via analog (bass management isn't as good as the x910 models though) and for DVDs I use coaxial and let the receiver handle bass management.

Please help. I have a Denon 2106 and a 2910 with a Klipsch Reference Series sub. I don't get any bass when I play an SACD. How can I fix this?

Thanks
