That's a tough call. If you haven't purchased one yet, get the DL-103R if you can, it's a more detailed cartridge than the -103 for not much more money, Denon claim a 15% increase in frequency response and it can be heard. There's more attention to assembly quality control and LC-OFC copper (8N) copper windings in the coil. There's nothing can touch the 103R at it's price point, they're not easy to break with mishandling and can run up a lot of hours if you use your turntable a lot
The Dynavector will cost you more to buy, more to replace and will slightly have the edge on the 103R, MAYBE, depending on the rest of your setup
Diminishing returns will kick in with a vengeance if you were to A/B these 2 side by side, the Denon is cheaper but not to be belittled; it's a giant killer (all IMHO)
