What I meant by "sucked up into the parent company" was, they stop development on our beloved player and future products.

Oh, I know what you meant and I agree that there is uncertainty as a result of the shift. I just guess that, as someone who is about 6 days away from *not* getting sucked up into any parent company, I am more inclined to look on the bright side WRT Denon/Marantz!!
