Technical update:
The Pioneer Elite DV-59AVi's HiBit and Legato PRO features enable both upsampling and upconversion of standard Red Book CDs and HDCDs to 24bit/96KHz! I just confirmed this information from multiple sources including a Pioneer Elite technician and fellow members from a different HI-FI Internet discussion forum! So, the DV-59AVi is a real contender versus the much storied Denon DVD 5900! This is knockout information and it only confirms my suspicions upon closer listening tests. The sound is both neutral / transparant yet it is warm and musical. I simply can't come to any other conclusion than that of the stock unit's sound characteristics.
