Took delivery yesterday of NAD C390DD to replace my trusty Denon Ceol RCD-N7 driving a pair of B&W CM8's.
For all you Marantz MCR 603/610/Denon CEOL doubters out there, let me tell you that my Denon sounds exactly the same if not better than this once £2000 amplifier.
Sure this NAD can play much cleaner at high levels, but at normal/quiet listening levels I prefer the slightly richer sound of the Denon. I've waited a long time to replace my Denon and when I saw this at half original RRP I thought it was a no brainer.
Its had 24hrs to 'burn in' but it hasn't improved, I'm sticking with the Denon, it does everything and sounds fantastic and drives them CM8's no problem it's a fantastic product.
