I have heard through sources I trust that the "15" is virtually indistinguishable from the 11 as far as sound goes, althoug I know the 11 has a few more options as far as digital modes/filters. Also I won't need the balanced outputs. This is for a stereo audio system only so while I certainly can use a universal player, I'd rather spend the money on good stereo sound. I have already decided on the new denon 3930 for the AV system.

None of the local dealers have both to compare.

The rest of my system is audio research amp and pre-amp with maggies and a pair of velodyne subs.

I would also be interested in your thoughts on other sacd players in the 2000-3500 dollar range.
