Yes, the Cary was MUCH better sonically vs the ARC. The ARC LS25mkII was lean in the lower mids and shy in the bass compared to the Cary. The Cary offers a more harmonically rich and robust sound overall. If you prefer a more neutral or sterile sound, the Cary is not for you.
Where the ARC shines is in it's versatility with balanced ins/outs, full-function remote with input switching, adjustable gain, etc. The Aesthetix Calypso has similar versatility and a warmer tone than the ARC.
I would choose the Cary purely on sonics but other factors may come into play depending on your needs.
