Very few CD players had this DAC, so it'd be interesting to test it!

I thought the Pioneer PD-D9 would be the last on SACD player on my list, for a good moment, but no, my road crossed an ancient Denon DVD-A11 that plays the SACD too. It seems to have an interesting multichannel conversion, based on BurrBrown DACs, as usual with Denon. It will require time for a thorough test!
This one got an optional DSD to PCM conversion in a multichannel chip (NPC SM5819), as well as the ability to play DVD-A. The front analogue output stages are more elaborate than on the surround, center and sub output.
The Denon DVD-A11 seems to be the model preceding the Denon DVD-3910. On Hifiengine, the specifications seem identical except for the HDCD, HDMI, and the weight of the devices.
Regarding the DVD-3910, if you want the measurements I can provide them since I have one. I even wonder if I haven't already sent them to you

The Denon DAV-A11 and the Denon DVD-3910 were different devices in significantly different device classes and internal construction, including price. Both devices were released in 2004.
The DAV-A11 was more complex in development and also featured higher-quality components and a more sophisticated DSP.
The successor to the DVD-3910 was the Denon DVD-3930. The DAV-A11 had no direct successor; the next larger device was the more expensive DVD-A 1 XV, released in 2005.
J’ai parcouru les manuels d’entretien du DVD-3910 et du DVD-A11 et j’ai remarqué qu’il y a des similitudes entre les deux appareils. Un certain nombre de puces sont identiques, mais il y a aussi des différences. Le DVD-A11 semble être sorti avant le DVD-3910, et Denon n’a pas nécessairement tout repensé à partir de zéro lors de la conception du DVD-3910.

The Denon DVD-3910 is based on the DVD-3800 and is its further development.
The DAV-A11 was the more affordable successor to the overpriced DVD-9000. The THX label was then only available on the DVD-A1 XV.
These devices are unlikely to differ significantly in terms of audio, and probably not even in terms of sound.
In terms of sound, these devices were no better than the older SACD players at the time, for example, for €750/DM1500.

Rega Apollo, a mid-sized top-loader, just because I like both design concepts.

NAD C-515 BEE or C-516 BEE.
Not as fancy as some of the other players discussed here, but I finally got around to posting my tests of the Panasonic MASH portable.
Does the $20 thrift find bottom of the line 1992 JVC 5 disk changer live up to the legend of its single-disk big brother, the XL-Z335? Probably not quite (1-bit PEM here vs 8-bit according to the specs), but stay tuned...
