Never heard the 651c, but it doesn't have the same DAC chips as the 851c, although i think it still upsamples the signal and has the 3 different filter options.

What about the Marantz SA 8005 ? Anyone heard it and compared it with any of these 2 players ? Wonder how much better the Marantz SA 8005 will be compared to my Marantz Cd6005...probably the "sound" won't be much different...

You should try to get some speakers that "go well" with your amplifier...the synergy is what matters in the end *mosking* For example i just got Focal Arias 936...i really liked the results with Arcam...also heard with Naim and i almost hated it *beee*

The Marantz 6005 has CD Text... The Cambridge Audio 851c and the Audiolbab 8200cd also support it, i think

Thanks ! Yes, it should be a good player...i tend more towards the 851c maybe because the "cd transport" seems more robust and the 8200 transport seems pretty "thin". From the reviews i expect them to sound relatively similar...slighty analytic/ neutral and a little forward. The 851c is a...

If you want to use a AVR... You can try also a Pioneer AVR...it works fine with the 684 s2, should give you a more "forward" sound than with the Marantz. But maybe not the best choice for music. You can try maybe a Anthem AVR , it should work well with the 684 s2. And Anthem AVRs are also...

Hello, Anyone has compared the sound of the Audiolab 8200cd to a Cambridge Audio 851c , wich are both supossed to have maybe a sound that is neutral/analytic and forward sound ? Do they sound remotely similar ? i am looking for a CD player with maybe a slighty more agressive than my Marantz...
