I can't offer input for either, but will you be using the digital or analog output with either player? If it's the digital, I would expect differences in sound to be very slight since the 990 would be doing the D/A conversion.

Gonk, Even if I did use the coax connection, couldn't I bypass and use the DACs in either player ? If I did use analogue there would be a differance in the two would't there?
Thanks Gonk,
Glenee

You could certainly use both the coaxial and analog, in which case the analog could be set up for bypass mode - and when you do that, the DAC's in the player will be key. Of course, that's as far as I can go since I don't know anything about the DAC's in those two players. wink

I have the 1072 with the 990- I use Bypass in analog mode; to my ears, it sounds better. Rotel DAC's are and have been quite good.
