The Denon integrated is very refined and well-tempered. Maybe too much so, perhaps even "dry" ?
I like it as much as I like Rotel. Less than I like Creek.
For $1200 a Portal dual mono integrated with 100wpc @8 ohms and LOTS of impulse power to spare is worth a comparison.
The bass from this thing is just plain sick. The Panache is very articulate, and has nice soundstage for transistors.
The Denon Universal disk player sounds pretty dang good.
The new Jolida CD player is unreal. But it is "just" a CD player.
Please respect my "loudmouth opinion" but I'd have skipped buying all my SACDs, DualDisks, and DVD-As and have stuck to CDs with the JoLida, if I knew then what I know now.
Hi-Res with divergent formats has become a fool's game.
