Integrated w/phono but no DAC

I got a Micromega M100 with  MARS. To be honest I never tried the Anthem in my new place after having a large dedicated listening room I just figured I would go the room correction route and sold the Anthem before I moved. I know it's hard to go by memory but in my  old house the Anthem sounded as good as the Micromega in my new one with the Paradigm speakers of course that's using room correction. 

I ended up buying the A-S801.  That price was too good not to try it.  Will let you all know how it goes - thanks for your help!

So I’ve only had it for a day but I’m loving it. Sounds crystal clear and detailed and dynamic, but not clinical or harsh. Only using CD and phono inputs but you can turn everything else off with the Pure Direct button and it’s a clear improvement. It’s funny, one of the reasons I bought it was to have tone controls, but the Pure Direct button bypasses them and it doesn’t need them at all - sounds fantastic.  Also telling is that I can listen at a volume that you can't hear on the other floors of my house without feeling like I *need* to turn it up.  It does sound good turned up too though.

Congrats on your purchase!
