marantz m-cr603 or rotel RA-11

[admin_exported]

Im using my laptop for the source from itunes, music mostly mp3 and ACC files, so not top quality.

wondering if the rotel RA-11 or marantz m-cr603 is better, i feel that the rotel is probably a better amp/dac than the ones in the marantz mcr603, which all i would really ustilise, because at some point i will get a turntable for any physical media.

Might also be worth looking at the new Onkyo A-9050, which includes an array of digital inputs and is only £350.

If you are still happy to consider a seperate amp and DAC, I'd also recommend trying the new Denon PMA-720AE amp. I heard one of these yesterday and it is a seriously good amplifier.
