happen to like the sound of the Marantz. All components have a characteristic sound and it does not necessarily have to do with the digital conversion process; the analogue stage MATTERS a lot.
If you ever heard side-by-side comparisons between the various Audionote DACs you will get to hear just how important is that analogue stage. From their cheapest DAC to the most expensive the price range is breathtaking, but, they all use the same chipset and vary primarily in terms of power supply and the analogue output stage. I heard a shootout between a DAC 3, DAC 4 and DAC 5 that clearly demonstrated the superiority of the dearer models and this was evident even when the source was a Sonos server playing off of MOG or some other service.
