I may have remembered that wrong, but after a search my memory was jogged. The Denon 1600 was based on the Panasonic RP56, with some changes...
From: http://www.audioreview.com/DVD,Players/Denon,DVD-1600/PRD_130288_1587crx.aspx
"As many informed buyers will know, the DVD-1600 is a refined version of Panasonic's Faroudja based RP-56. Denon has made nominal improvements to the video section with quicker layer changes and the elimination of the flicker bug which plagued the RP-56. However, the audio section is pure Denon, and sports 2bit/192khz low-noise Burr Brown DAC's for CD and DVD-A playback."
I've seen similar information from various places, but this is the one I could find quickly.
