Thank you, Sasaki! Very helpful indeed!

As Torpedo has noted, the overpowering bass (if that's the right description) and relatively dark character may result from insufficient burn-in. In any case, your review assures me that Denon is not softening that earth-shattering bass that we know and love from the D5000, and it's now improving on the the D5000 soundstage. It seems they got it all right!

Well, maybe not all of it is good news. I'm one of those who think it's hard to improve on the obscenely cute D5000. That glossy finish is a step back, IMHO. But we understand the need for some distinctive physical mark. It remains very, very pretty.

Wheeeew!... Is there a cure for the itch, people?
