Thanks for posting this. I'm interested in the SA10. I have an Sa7-S1 but I'm limited to CDs and sacd. Look forward to reviews later this year.

I also bought a SA7-S1 sold it after a month and so did the guy I sold it to. The first Positive Feedback reviewer of this obese player ,said he was sending it off for modification, I can well understand why, but fail to understand why others like this player.
The DAC on this unit seems interesting. According to the brief description here, it may take a similar approach to the software program HQ player, which has gotten good reviews on the computer audio forum. (At least according to my weak understanding.)
"The player doesn't stop at CD and SACD playback, and will recognize discs burned with hi-res files, or those taken from a USB source. Marantz calls the SA-10 a "clean design" product, preferring to build it from the ground up, rather than re-use established techniques, including a new way of converting digital signals over to analog. All digital signals, whether they're from a disc of file, are converted over to DSD256 — four times the sample rate SACD uses — then passed through a DSD converter before reaching the amp. Other amps down-convert to PCM, but Marantz says its way results in the purest sound."

Has anyone moved on this gear?
Yes I have...
Just received it about a week ago. It replaced the SA11S3, so, all I can say is that it is better than the SA11S3.
I am still forming an opinion, but first impressions are very positive!
I have a full line of Marantz, the MA9S2 and the SC7S2.
One might think I love Marantz and they can do no wrong, well, I do love them, but I buy based on my assessment of the component and price / accessibility (affordableness), not to say that $7K is affordable for anyone!
