Thanks, jmacari. That's interesting that the difference between the sound of your 1072 in analog versus digital throught 990's DACs is relatively small and may not be worth the cost of a separate CD player. Man, the $1100 990 might save me $500 or more bucks on a CD player!

Are there any other owners that could compare the analog performance of their cd players to the 990 handling the DAC work?
