I read in an article the that the prima was equal to the Roksan Kandy MK3 in which I have had the Kandy. I would keep the Pioneer which I currently have.
The Audio Aero Prima CDP is a great player, but the caveat is that it performs its best with small scale recordings. This is small ensemble jazz, blues, female vocals. The soundstage and resolution gets congested and starts to fall appart with large scale recordings and harder rock. I am not familiar with the Pioneer DVAX10.
