The Marantz is a much better sounding player for redbook. Balanced and clean sound, no opamps and has selectable upsampling. A great buy at this price point.
cambridge azur 640c v2 or marantz dv7001
Hello, I am about to buy a new cd player and have got it down to a cambridge 640c v2 at audioadvisor for 399.00. The other choice is the marantz dv7001 universal player at music direct for the same price. I have 15 sacd so, I would like to play them if I could. I have many more cds than I do sacd, so I want good cd playback. If the cambridge is better at cd than the marantz I will buy it. If you have heard both please give me a brief comparison. My system has a rogue metis pre,vincent sa31 power amp, von schweikert vr3 speakers. I like jazz,blues,folk,and some rock. thanks, Normk
