Intersted in Sony's with it's storage capability, otherwise Marantz' flagship player?
Need no hassle server capability, also want "pure" dsd conversion. Total newbie here but want a good piece of gear that I can place in my system and forget. A lot of fine print in specs of various brands rergarding reclocking, superior DACs, etc.
I'm clueless. Just tell me what to get, especially if you've had the luxury of auditioning many brands. Kal?
So many reviews claim "no digital glare!" I thought we were a long way from '82 at this point. Pl3ase tell me I'm not making a mistake leaving vinyl behind.
