I've heard both, but so far apart and in time and distance that I couldn't offer any real world comparison. However with that caveat in mind, I say they are somewhat similar in sound, albeit the Cherry can deliver enough power for almost any speaker while the TBI is a fleawatt. Both had the same attributes of a smooth, musical presentation, but making a value judgement on which is best would be beyond me. I know the Cherry made massive improvements over a Jadis integrated using some Zu speakers, and the TBI is making magic in my home system now. Sorry, it's not much, but it's all I got and no one else really responded.
