I would say after tonights listening, there is just something "right" about the Marantz's sound that the Sony doesn't get. The Sony is wonderful. And the differences are minor. But something about the Marantz is touch less artificial just more "there" in my system. And maybe thats just it, in my system the Marantz has an edge. A bit more weight. A touch less "hi-fi" sound.The Sony is a great bargain: It far supersedes the Cary tube DAC I tried some months ago, and sounds extremely musical. It is easy to use and the remote function via iPhone or iPad (or I suppose any android device) is a pleasure.
I'm still on the fence regarding staying with the Marantz: plus attached Mac Mini and its tethered hard drive vs the convenience of an all in one player like the Sony. This is after all my secondary system. But that urge to squeeze out the best sound I can get vs a modicum of practicality rages on inside!!!! :)
If the Sony had a digital out, this whole issue would be moot. But I think any buyer of the Sony wouldn't be disappointed. Its a great device.
