Yes, I think your comments, particularly about soundstage, are spot on.I have listened to both the setups you mentioned. The d10>009 I listened at an event. Though I was surprised by how competent d10 is to drive 009, I felt it fell short of hugo2>utopia. The latter has a more even soundstage and coherent imaging. D10>009 has a collapsed and weird shaped soundstage by comparison I felt. The resolution & clarity of d10>009 is pretty good though and may be real close to hugo2>utopia (within 5%). The latter takes it on tonality & dynamics though.
