Cary 11a vs Anthem D2

I have a Cary 11a, but have been thinking about an Anthem D2 because it has functional ARC and is likely to be less buggy than the 11a. My main concern is the stereo sound of the D2. I know that of the 11a is excellent. Reviews of the 11a seem to go out of there way to praise it, not so reviews of the D2. Any of you had the opportunity to compare the sound of the two? I suppose one possibility is to buy a D2, compare it with the 11a in my system, then sell one. I think the used prices of an 11a and D2 are similar. I am aware the D2 will not process lossless codecs, but I assume my Oppo 93 can do that and send PCM to the D2.
