I just won an Audiophile 2496 off of eBay, so I haven't received it yet, and I've been considering going for a DCM-370 as well. I'd like to know if there's a reason why I should or should not go for the changer. I auditioned the Denon at a local pro audio shop, and if I can get it for around 100-120 shipped from eBay, it seems like a fairly good choice for my first non-portable source.
However, I'll be doing nearly all of my non-portable listening while using the computer or sitting at the computer desk. So I need some advice, opinions, or experiences. Is it worth it to buy the Denon and use it over the soundcard for CD listening? Will the Denon sound better than the soundcard? I'll be using a JMT CHA47 amp with either/both of the sources. Basically, I just want to know if the Audiophile's quality is comparable enough to the Denon that I will end up with a changer collecting dust rather than spinning CDs.
