Denon x4700h DAC change


Hello 'PRO'S",

was hoping to get an expert opinion.. I have the Denon 4700h. I can still return it. Previously, it had the AKM 4458 DAC. Now, it has the TI PCM5102A DAC. Is this a notable decrease in performance from the chips. From what I am reading, it seems that these chips are inferior to AKM. The original test bench showed very good results with AKM. I searched high and low for tests on the PCM 5102A  with zero luck. 

 

Thanks,

Anthony

I used to sell denon and hey sound decent an arcam will blow away your denon

for true performance use an integrated amplifier instead of an avr
