The review doesn't exactly say that.
Nevertheless, also here in Europe these products are reviewed very favourably.
Especially the SACD player gets very good marks.

Their 3910 was certainly near the top of the heap at the start of this century. And quite reliable. My grand-daughter still uses my 2910 when forced to listen to digital music. Been running well for almost 20yr.

This is Denon level of gear they need to get back to

This is a beast and a beautiful piece of engineering. Very reasonably priced on the second hand market.

Wonder how Masimo is doing with their audio companies?
