Newbie Looking for a new SACD player

Hi all

Well, I only recently got into this whole audio stuff and am looking to get my first SACD. So far I'm looking at the Denon DVD1930 and the Sony DVP NS3100ES
Has anyone got any experience about these two players? In terms of audio which is "better"?

Specs are listed below

Sony DVP NS3100ES
Audio Digital-to-Analog Converter : 12 Bit, 216 MHz
DVP-NS3100ES/B | ES Series DVD/SACD/CD Single Disc Player | Sony | SonyStyle USA

Denon DVD1930
Audio Digital-to-Analog Converter 24-Bit, 192 kHz Audio DACs
DENON UK | Home Audio Components


By the way does a lower bit rate on a DAC mean better sound quality??

Because the denon has a higher bit depth rate than the sony, but a lower frequency rate.


Cheers

Dave

"12 Bit, 216 MHz" looks like specs for the video DAC actually (even CD audio is 16b)

ALL DVD players these days have 24b/192kHz DACs

consider the Oppo 980H

The Oppo and Denon also play DVD-Audios so that might be a bonus (there are some awesome sounding DVD-Audios)
