I don't think that's it. Denon wants a "statement" player and this one is it. It has nothing to do with most regular Blu-Ray buyers and will appeal to the high-end guys who have been waiting for something like this.

Denon will then flow-down the technology and build a series of less expensive players. This will all happen if they are confident that the market is strong enough to justify the expense of course.
