Is there a difference between Denon 2309 and 889 (and 2308)... - Blu-ray Forum

except the price?

889 is listed at $799, 2309 at $849 and the 2308 is on sale at BB for $499?

2309 would give you discrete command codes over the 889 and be the later version of the 2308...I think its a better choice than the 2308 or 889.

When I look at the specs in the link above, Denon shows the 889 and 2309 to be exactly the same. They don't have comparisons between them and the older 2308 model. But that price looks pretty good to me.

The 2308 does not decode Dolby TrueHD or DTS-HD MA.

What are "discrete command codes"?
