    Marantz HD-AMP1 DAC and Integrated Amplifier

    Wow,in my country this goes for ~1100-1200USD.Why would i buy this,not the PM7005 from the same brand for ~750-800?It can do all this except sub-out and DSD11.2....but a lot better measurments.Sure it's smaller and half the weight,and you get fake wood sides. I want to (buy)belive in all-in-one...
