Hi,
Heard the Denon A11 recently and must say that I'm pretty impressed with it. My observations were that it had excellent picture quality, excellent movie sound/SACD/DVDA and was pretty good in CD. I didn't think it was up to the same level of CD replay as my Arcam DV27A but I didn't do a back to back blind test.
As I'm looking at getting a SACD player I was toying with the idea of replacing the Arcam with the Denon (its only a very slight pos at the mo). My question is has anyone heardthem back to back, not over different days but in the same room one after the other? From my demo of the AV8/G68 processors I learn't that these things have to be tested blind to truely evaluate them, anyone done this?
Regards
John
