I have a Sony SACD XA3000ES CD player and a Denon DVD A1 DVD player (used as CD deck) both connected to TEAC D-T1 DAC. I have 2 copies of identical CD and when I play them simultaneously on both machines and switch the TEAC to output one and then the other, there is a definite difference in sound - not necessarily quality just different. The Sony sounds more livelier and the Denon a bit 'darker' - both sound excellent but I can't make my mind up which I prefer. don't understand why there's such a large difference - any thoughts/
Amp is Yamaha Z9 and speakers are Spendor SP2/3r2.
Thanks!
