in terms of sound quality? I'm having a dickens of a time deciding which one I like. It seems to me the Marantz is a little more clear, clearer vocals, more air and separation between instruments and has better texture. The Sony seems very pleasant and musical but somehow lacking in transients and being a little more "mushy" for lack of a better term. navman |

for DSD Files. Remastering Engine can be switched off |
That would explain the ES designation and the added cost. Nt, posted on September 10, 2014 at 14:27:07 | |
