Musical Fidelity A324 DAC with Marantz SA8260
I just traded my SA8260 for a A3.24 DAC. I will be using a Sony DVP-S7000 as a transport. I can give you that comparison this weekend if you'd like my opinion. Not really apples to apples but maybe helpful.

Zu just released a new model this year. I can't remember the exact model but it wasn't hard to find on their site since they only make a couple of speakers. I think the sensitivity was mid to high 90's.
