I sold a Denon DVD-5910CI. A pretty good player, but I think the Esoteric is definitely a step or two up.
No Blu-Ray, no pre-amp (don't see it in the manual) and I have never had the need for WAV or FLAC. It will see redbook CD's, SACD's in stereo and multi, DVD-A's and DVD-Video.
My PC based music server will take WAV and FLAC thru USB.
