I've owned both and the 303 is IMHO in a different league. Due to the versatility of the DAC, however, you have to experiment a bit to figure out which configuration you prefer - and it may be that you end up switching depending on the recording, other components in the system, etc. That is not everyone's cup of tea. In all, however, I'd be very surprised if you didn't prefer the Cary. good luck Marty

I am making the move to SACD however and the Cary is coming up for sale. Let me know if you are interested. 2 months new and looking for $2500-2700. 10/10 all around.
