Does the Oppo even output a digital SACD signal? The DAC is only one part of the larger equation, and the electronics all around the DAC will have a larger impact on the kind of sound you’ll end up hearing. If you want a more neutral, detailed sound go for the Yamaha, and if you’re looking for a warmer, fuller sound go with the Marantz. Those basic sonic signatures will override the sound of just the DAC chips inside IMO. Best of luck.
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
