It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!

Well I own a DV-717, but it's quite a while since I used a NAD 524, so I can't say exactly how they'd compare. Both are good. I have a sneaking suspicion the NAD might edge it though. It's a good player that had loads of very positive reviews when released and it's pretty compact, tiny in fact compared to the 717, which could be handy. A mate of mine has my old one and he never uses it. I'm tempted to get it back actually. I reckon it would stand comparison to my Pioneer PD-S505 Precision, which is one of my favourite players (I have two actually).
