Interesting that you prefer Marantz. You know that they are kind of sister brands under the same group? I have liked Marantz in the past: I owned the little all-in-one m-cr 603 which I really liked and but then tried a couple of Marantz amps which I didn't really like at all (pm 6006 uk, and...

Hi I've just seen this so maybe you've moved on but .... in my humble opinion the Denon pma 800ne is a bit of a budget gem. It is unfussy, warm sounding without being woolly, has pretty decent power and current, offers decent bass and works well with a range of speakers even quite low...

Erm... that sounds like an assumption that these DACs will sound more or less the same to me, I'm not putting words in your mouth.

Don't know haven't heard either. But why do you just believe the "all DACs sound the same" tribe? Just listen to some different DACs and use and trust your ears and brain. Not what people who claim to know better say on some website.

The British audiophile I think has some real knowledge about electronics and is very measured in his comments. Darko is measured too but I do think he overdoes the "if youlike a speaker which gets you on the edge of your seat you'll like X and if you like a speaker that you can sit back and...

Here is a bit of left field suggestion but I agree Elac is a great brand. However, in my opinion the original Debut b5 was a better speaker than the b5.2. I had both, loved the b5, not so much the 5.2. The b5 was warmer with a lovely mid range and good bass for a small speaker. That warmth might...

That will be a lovely sounding and looking amp I'm sure. You can forget your Regas. I'm currently trialing the Rega Elex mk4. Imho my Denon pma 800ne sounds better in my room with my set up. That Marantz I'm sure is a beauty!

Because they all sound the same, it's just 1s and 0s etc? I'm sorry I couldn't let that one slide by. And yes, I'm sure I could pass an A/B blind test with the DACs I have here at the moment.

Lovely looking old skool amp. Love Marantz/ Denon :blush:

Not really connected in any direct way, but the other day I found myself playing a game of park volleyball with a guy who was the nephew of the bassist in the Cult. Another band from back in those days... :disrelieved: how the days how they fly.

Oh God, are they gonna bring back that hair style?

:LOL:

Is that SHEEEran? or SheRAAAN?
