Marantz AV7706 vs Yamaha CX-A5200 - Stereo DACs quality


Does anyone have experience or measurement compare between AV7706 DAC (AKM 4458) vs CX-A5200 (ESS9026Pro) ?

Asking in the context using this Pre-pro to accept digital out from Oppo BD105D for SACD stereo playback and wondering if they are as good Oppo internal DAC (ESS) ?

Thanks

I finally bought the AV7706 as I need it to play Atmos track,

I compare :
Oppo BD-105 - XLR out -(analog) to Pre-amp -> Amp

vs

Oppo BD-105D - HDMI out (DIG) to AV 7706 (DAC/pre-a,p) -> Amp

The AV7706 sounds just as good as oppo BD105D DAC, 

Very happy with it.
