"The Denon uses the PCM1702J...a lowly 20 bit DAC, but as musical as you'll find."
Possibly "as musical as you'll find" - - for people who are satisfied with redbook CD quality. Many folks here (well maybe not here here in "Digital" but over in the PC-Audio forum) have moved way beyond CD quality with very high resolution music files that would never come to life through a dated 20-bit DAC.
But if you're talking strictly CD's I suppose your comment makes some sense.

I'm referring the CD...I've given up on SACD, and at this time have no interest in using my computer for more then email.
Regarding the high res solution though, I visited a gent late last year in North Toronto to have a peek at a pair of Sonus Fabers he had for sale. He had what he described as "about as good as you can get" setup utilizing a Mac and who knows what else. I'll agree that it is different, but I'm not sure it was better.
Let's face it, after listening to both live and recorded music for well over 30 years now, and most of it Rock or Metal...well, my ears are likely not what they used to be. But I do know what hits me the right way, and I'm not convinced that digital audio is going in the right direction.
