McIntosh MCD-500 vs Denon DCD-2010AE?

[Tweir]

So another interesting find. The McIntosh MCD-500 has a claim to be entirely new by mc with a shared transport. But it appears these two units share alot more than that.

MCD-500 priced at 6000.00 or 6500.00 not sure and the DCD-2010AE is 2244.00 or 1699.00 euro.

Specs

DCD-2010AE
THD .0008% FOR SACD
THD .0017% FOR CD
SNR SACD 113DB
SNR CD 119DB
DAC 32BIT

MCD-500
THD .0015% SACD
THD .0015%CD
SNR 110DB
DAC 24BIT

Both have the same on board dac feature that you can utilize the internal dac with a optical input and coax input. A great feature but what gives for the $4256.00 difference?
