I am looking for SACD, possibly DVD up converting player.
I will be only using multichnnel analog outputs, no DSD or PCM through HDMI needed.
The sound quality through analog outputs is the key. The MCH analog outputs will be fed to Arcam AV9 preamp.
I have narrowed my candidates down to a few:
Arcam DV137/139
Marantz DV9600
Pioneer DV-58AV, I think it is DV-800 in Europe
I am not worry so much about video quality; the sound through analog outputs is the key. Is any of you have compared side by side in A/B test the above SACD players with their analog outputs.
Marantz has probably better DACs, should sound the best, bet testing showing different results. Do not understand why Arcam should sound better?
I would appreciate for any comments and recommendations.
