Boulder 866 vs CODA CSiB

I had an 866 and Coda #8.  The Boulder was superior.  It's a stellar integrated.  If I didn't have an improved DAC--the one in the 866 is very good, but not $10k+ good--and it had an IR remote instead of RF, I may very well still have it today.

@eugene81--thank you. Very Helpful.

There was a review of the Boulder 866 on Stereophile that compared it to the KRELL k-300i. I found that interesting since I owned the K-300i and the CODA CSiB. All 3 are integrated amps.

BTW CODA #8 is an amp (I owned it too), so the comparison with the 866 should likely have used preouts of the 866 (if it has them). Otherwise, it is not an apple-to-apples comparison.
