Recession got you down? Why not pick up a $5,879 Blu-ray player?

There are some companies in the world that aim purely at the upper end of the pay scale. Denon has just released their new DVD-A1UD which costs a staggering $5,879, a price that us debt ridden unemployed mortals can only gape at.

So what does it actually do? Well, it can play Blu-ray discs, SACDs, CDs, DVD-Audio, and DVD-Video. This is Denon’s first Profile 2.0 Ready (BD Live) Blu-ray DVD player and it supports the HDMI 1.3 spec. It can also upscale non-HD sources and can convert signals so that they properly fit 16:9 screens without black bars or distortion. And lets face it, if you can spend this much you definitely have a widescreen TV.
