OK - this is a bit more clear now, because your 103SA has 14ohm impedance while mine 103 has 40 ohm impedance.
therefore 103R and 103 have different recommended loadings. AFAIK 103R wants 40 ohm with a trannie and 103 wants 100ohm min.
when you were ordering your A23, did you have to emphasize what version of denon you have?
i mean, i can't talk about things I haven't tried and maybe it just works superb with both, however there should be a difference because loading is a quite tricky thing. unless there are two different A23s (or different Haufe trannies).
