I currently have the CD6005, which uses the same DAC and analog modules as the NA8005. This player sounds superb, and lossless files played via the USB port sound superb as well. Even a digital Pandora stream played thru the DAC sounds great balanced, clean, and sibilance-free. The USB port on these players routes everything thru the DACs very nifty.
Marantz NA8005 opinions vs. Oppo ?
Marantz's new NA8005 looks to be a nice stand-alone player for computer audio, even playing DSD from a thumb drive on the front USB port. This unit has all the features I've been looking for, but I can't find any reviews or opinions on its sound quality. I have an Oppo 105, and it's a bit lean for my tastes, although DSD sounds very nice if it's a well mastered album. Has anyone had the chance to listen to the NA 8005 and evaluate the quality of the DAC? Or can you direct me to a review if you have found one?
Thanks and cheers,
