I purchased both receivers from bestbuy; the SC-25 was new at 999$, the SC-05 was open box at $499


which should i keep???

aside from the iphone compatibility and detachable power cord i feel the two are just about equal.

That's a good price for the SC-05.


Unless there's an extra feature you want the SC-25 has that the SC-05 doesn't..

Removable Power Cord (SC-05 Non removable)

Multi-channel PQLS (SC-05 CD PQLS only)

Better iPod compatibility (album art etc)

48bit Deep Color (SC-05 36Bit)

Additional HDMI input on front panel (SC-05 No HDMI on Front panel)

One less Optical input. 4 optical inputs (SC-05 has 5 opt. 3 coax)

Rhapsody streaming..

DACs, Amps, Power, and weight appear to be the same.


If you're happy with the SC-05 and nothing is missing, and you get the full 2 year warrantee... I'ld go for the SC-05

Both are good.. go with the one that puts a smile on your face.
