I have the Marantz SA-11S3. It is surprisingly good. It has a detailed but relaxed sound to it. It also has balanced outputs, which for me is important. It is excellent with CDs and superb with SACDs I haven't heard the others, so I cannot comment.

Thanks very much. Can you tell me if the USB input on the rear can handle AIFF files if connected to a computer, say via an Aiport Express? I saw the following from a (very positive) review, but it seems to refer only to the front USB port:
I will go out on a limb and even say that the Marantz's back panel USB input maybe the highest quality USB DAC I have heard yet in my system. I also experienced excellent fidelity with an iPhone/iPod plugged into the front USB slot. The only real disappointment I felt was that this input does not support FLAC, AIFF, or resolution beyond 48 Khz, 16-bits. This is a bit of a nitpick, as there are three other inputs that handle up to 192 Khz, 24-bits. But this would have been a nice feature to have
The Oppo BDP-105D handles FLAC, AIFF, and WAV up to 24/192 PCM as well as DSD(64) and DSD(128) through its rear panel USB DAC input. It also handles all those formats and resolutions except for DSD(128) from USB hard drives and flash drives connected to its three USB "A" ports.
