Myraj,
I've never heard either, but I've read a lot about the Sony. If you are going to use the 7100ES with a matching Sony digital receiver, like the STR-DA7100ES, it will pass SACD output digitally via the iLink. With the Sony DVD-NS9100ES/STR-DA7100ES combo, the signal stays in the DSD digital domain all the way from transport, through amplification, never going through a D->A conversion.
I haven't heard it myself, but I've been told it is a very good combination. Although it may not be an audiophile approved combination, it may be very good for a combo HT/music system at a reasonable price.
Enjoy,
TIC
