Aiwa transport and Bel Canto's 1.1 dac
Yes it will. 
Heard the Marantz SA14?
I wanted to follow up on the SA14. I broke it in and did an a/b with the BC 1.1. It was not a fair fight. The Marantz is better in every way. I was not in the market for a CD upgrade but figured it couldn't hurt to listen with no risk. Guess again...
