Denon M39 Stocks or Dali Zensor 1's?

[[email protected]]

Hello,
I have a mini stero set in my mind. It'll either be;
1- Denon D-M39DAB with stock speakers
or
2- Denon PMA 520 with Dali Zensor 1 set of speakers.

1 or 2 ? I need your advice. Thanks in advance !

Auditioning both will be ideal to select.Dali will be better in my opinion.

Thanks for the great reply ! Unfortunately I have no chance to test the both systems, let alone testing one. I am not super knowledable about hi-fi system but being a musician have it's perks.

1- I'll benefit from nearly all aspects of the M39: FM radio, CD player and of course the built in DAC by supplying the system both with USB drives & digital input. But for now it seems I'll mainly be using AUX and USB MP3 function.
2- I maily listen studio music and those genres: jazz, blues, modern jazz, progressive rock, instrumental and some metal.
3- My main problem is: I don't know if there is a huge difference between Dali's and Denon stock speakers. Most probably I'll be upgrading those in the future anyways.

P.S: Also a friend of mine recommended me audioengine a5+. Reviews sounds cool. Any ideas?

If you read online reviews,most of peoples prefer better speakers than stock.

Here they are suggesting Q acoustics although stock speakers are not that bad.

Today I had chance to listen Audioengine A5+. It was absouletely gorgeous. If I buy it, I will have no option other than use it with 3.5 mm input though.

you get RCA to 3.5mm cable/connector,so shouldn't be an issue.
