I just bought the Integra CDC-3.4 6 disc CD player. I have the Marantz AV8802A as my pre/pro. Should I go coax and use the DACS in the Marantz or go RCA and use the DACS in the Integra?
The DAC in the 8802 leaves a lot to be desired. I used an external DAC with mine. Your mileage may vary as everything is a matter of personal taste. Ultimately, you are going to have to hear for yourself.
Good choice, I have Onkyo CDC 3.4 mark II, and like it's sound very much, however it does not play SACD's, so I found another for my main system and use the Onkyo in another system.
From my listening/comparing to 8 other players, I would start with the Onkyo, expect to be very happy, if not, then hire a contortionist teenager.
