I'd be curious to hear the opinion of someone who's used both with the Denons. I am using one now to run my D7000s and can say the improvement in sound quality it has brought about is fantastic. |

If the EF-1 drops down to $299 again it would put a setup like that within $500 USD price range of a new Pico. |
