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 worth the extra $1500 I had to shell out. So I might just keep my 1055 as a pre/pro for the time being and plan ahead and make an upgrade to my system elsewhere.
Which leads me to ask you this question. I compared the DACS of my Denon 2900 for cd playback against that in the 1098, and I would have to say that the 2900 was noticeably better in all regards. Being that its not a dedicated cd player, would a purchase like the Rotel RCD 1072 yield better cd playback than my already excellent 2900? Has anyone compared the two for analog cd playback? Should I upgrade my system elsewhere? How about a used 1070 for much less than a new 1072? Is the 1072 much better?
Thanks to you all again for all your invaluable assistance.
