RE: new CD player and DAC needed

Let me thank everyone for their input and advice, which is pointing me more and more toward the Marantz SA11S3. I am especially grateful to PAR, who did some extra research on my behalf, in addition to providing impressions based on his listening. I have followed his advice and attempted to contact Marantz with some questions. Based on their website, it does seem that they offer very good support, which is certainly an important consideration.

May I ask, especially Jack, some more questions? In particular, how is the imaging and focus of the SA11S3? Some reviews of some of its predecessors fault it slightly in that regard. Imaging, in particular depth, is what I especially miss with my current CD player, compared to my vinyl setup.
Also, does anyone know if one can play AIFF files from a computer if one uses the optical input in the Marantz, instead of the USB input?

Thanks again.
