Hi Samhar,

Fully balanced.....hmmm, I think so but not 100% sure. I do know the 168 is fully balanced. Both sound excellent but I like the 168 better as it has better dynamics, slightly more transparent and has volume control. It is a better player by about 15-20%.

the sa-10 has all of the new technology, but the dv-50 is a good product. i would go with the sa-10 just for the fact they are using the new technology. the bass is awsome the sound stage is unvelevable.

Thanks for your input. I deceided to try a tube player and bought the Raysonic 168.Out of the box the sound stage was enlarged and the brighness of my Denon 3930ci was gone.Koko Taylor wasn't shrill,Jack Johnson's voice had body and Victoria Drake's harp had a resonance that filled the room leaving no doubt the sound box was wood!Slack key guitar had the attack and decay necessary for the goosebump factor of acoustic strings! Thanks Eric this is exactly what I wanted the sound is more analogue. I'm going to turn on the LED,s and listen! Sam out.
