In Reply to: Philips 963 + DAC or Marantz 8260 posted by frank on August 17, 2004 at 22:14:33:
I briefly auditioned the 8260. Very polite and perhaps warmish is what I would describe the sound on Redbook. Good balance over the frequency range and smooth but lacking in the detail department. Also a bit weak on depth and spacial cues. Very similar to Rotel 1072 in sound as compared to an Arcam 82 for instance, which is more detailed but a bit forward on upper mids and highs.Depending on system synergy all are pretty nice players, except I hated the Philips on redbook, thin mids and all too forward on the top end. It sounded like a cheap dvd player. I prefered a Rega Planet over it.
The DAC question is a possibility. But you may want to try an existing player first to keep costs down.
YMMV Hope this helps.
