Is this new or other you are considering? Return policy? @khanz I am able to order a new one. So far, based on what I've read online, brands like ARCAM, NAD etc are more focused on better sound quality due to superior components, whereas, OTS brands such as Onkyo/Integra/Pioneer, Denon, Yamaha etc are more feature rich from a $$$ value for the money. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From my experience, you have to go up to near flagship models of the more consumer brands to get better build/quality parts that are geared more to sound quality.

Will be interested in your impression if you go the Arcam route. Thanks! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
