Hmm, which way to go, two Oppo's and some change, or the Denon.

We lament the loss of so many High End audio stores yet when we buy direct from the Company like you with the the Oppo and me with the Olive, we hasten their demise. I do know that it costs to have a distribution system like Denon and we all know that those names brands never sell at list price. So the price gap on is probably closer to $500 or $600. Also for Denon receiver owners, they could pass the hi-rez audio via Denon Link.
