I certainly do like the "house" sound of the Marantz SACD players.
Probably because in my house I have three units. The SA11-S1, S-2, and 8001. I strongly recommend upgrading the fuses in these units. The S-2 responds fabulously to a main power fuse upgrade. Try one of the new Synergistic Research "Black" fuses. Let the unit stay on for a hundred hours and then listen to a significantly improved sound.
The main fuse of the SA11-S1 is not user replaceable. You can replace the inside the chasis- 5 rail fuses. Slow blow, small, use 1.6 amp 250 volt. Here even the original Synergistic Research (SR) SR-20 fuse shows improvement. The SR Black and SR RED fuses show more improvement but cost more.
I keep my players on 24/7 with display led's off. Going strong since 2008.
