Best to audition both if possible.

I understand your skepticism but the D1100 sounds fantastic, I’m using it as a DAC with my C2300. I was using a Mcintosh MCD500 prior to this which I was not unhappy with however I wanted to listen to DSD and high res. PCM. I was shocked how much better and bigger the sound stage was with D1100.
