I consider the player layout of the Engine 4.X on my SC6000M’s a huge downgrade in comparison with the 3.4 version, especially because of the excessively small track timer, track overview waveform positioning on top instead of the bottom and the trimmed space for the track titles.
Because of that, I was happily keeping my units on 3.4, but now, I am missing on STEMS because it is only available on 4.2+!
My request for Denon is: PLEASE allow the user to switch the player layouts between “Classic” (before 4.0) and “Modern” (After 4.0). That way, everyone can enjoy their players the way it best their preferences, allowing some old guys like me to see the time left on their tracks easily! More customization options are always better!
I am not sure this is the best place to post this, but hopefully Denon will consider this for the next update!
