Very sorry, it is me again. I contacted a local Marantz dealer, who told me that although he would be happy to order me a Marantz SA11S3 for $4K, I should consider instead the Arcam CDS27 for $1.5K.
This unit does seem to do a lot of what I want. Instead of linking to my computers via USB (which seems to invite driver troubles) or optical (which I could access from my Airport Express), it has ethernet and Wifi built in. Its DAC doesn't seem quite as good as that of the Marantz (Burr Brown 1794 vs 1729A) but it does seem to be good enough for SACD (converted to PCM perhaps.) The dealer says that it should sound as good as the Marantz, if not better, on most material. It also has a good warranty.
My question for people with experience: do you know how this unit sounds? How it is built?
Thanks yet again.
