The main difference between the K-05 and K-07 is they have different DACs and transports (presumably better for the more expensivve 05). The 05 is available in black and silver, the 07 silver only I currently understand.

Note that some Esoteric players convert DSD from SACD to PCM for replay. I can't find out if that is the case for these two players but you may want to investigate further. My impression is that they play SACDs directly however.

The Esoteric machines allow PCM (redbook) conversion to DSD if you like that kind of thing. They also accept wordclock input from an external source. The Marantz does neither. BTW I listen to one of the current Marantz range of SACD players regularly at a friend's place(it's a couple of notches down from the one that you are interested in)and like it very much.
