My understanding is that the 8802a is more transparent due to the elimination of op amps in favour of HDAMs. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think Marantz does a DSD to PCM conversion on a DSD bitstream. I'm thinking in terms of playing the Oppo bdp-95 (later 205) through the analog outs - Pure Direct in Marantz's parlance. For some reason it sounds as good in my system as my Esoteric DV-50 did, and much better than the SA-14 did.
