    I have it and have enjoyed it. I compared it to the DV8400 and Denon 2900 at the time. For SACD it is great, more detailed, more natural and in my opinion better than the dv8400 and 2900, however it is NOT a universal player so not really a fair comparison.

      Thanks.

      I currently have dvd-2200. I'm looking for a dedicated CD player and Marantz catches my eyes, but this one has sacd as well. I believe Marantz and Denon now are in the same company. Not sure how different on DAC on each brand.

        I believe the 8260 was designed prior to the 'buy-out'. But i'm not sure.

        There is a difference as they do sound 'different'. Your best bet would be to demo them under the same conditions, i.e. cables, speakers, rooms....etc.

          2900 vs RCD 1072 for cd playback?
          by NHT
          As some of you already know, Im not impressed with the performance with my new 1098 that I bought two days ago. Let me rephrase that. It sounds good, but not much better than the 1055 Ive used as a pre/pro. Sure, it has a lot more users options and tweakability but soundwise, in my opinion, is not...

          What's the word big birds? I am joining this forum per the recommendation of a reviewer from audioreview.com that read my latest review. I have some qualms about my purchase as I used to be a faithful Marantz owner and it looks like this is the right place to rock.

          Hello fellow AVSforumners. I am in a dilemma and I need your expertise. I am torn between these four players and I cannot make up my mind. I just want to make the right decision. All these players I can probably get for about the same price. I just found the Pioneer 47ai for $550 and I think it is a...
