Introduction

Denon has long been a well-respected leader in the disc player market, producing some excellent universal disc players over the years. Just a few years ago, a universal disc player needed to tackle CD, SACD, DVD-Video and DVD-Audio. Today’s disc player must now add Blu-ray to the list in order to claim the title of universal disc player. The Denon DBP-4010UDCI is their latest reference universal disc player and a price just shy of $2000 places this player second from the top in Denon’s Blu-ray player line-up. I’ve owned and auditioned many Denon players over the years, so I was excited to see how well the Denon DBP-4010UDCI would perform.
