the accuphase 100/101 combo is better sonically on both redbook and sacd than the dp-85. neither is "syrupy," as the above AUDIO DEALER suggests. JTINN sells a competing brand of digital gear, so he invariably finds something negative to say about accuphase. my guess is that he was nixed as an accuphase dealer and, thus, freely hands out his sour grapes. -cfb
