If you read what I wrote was that not many people could afford it, comapred to units costing much more and not sounding at better, I called it a bargan, in the real world this costs a lot of bucks, but it is worth it when everything is taken into account.

Let's keep in mind that your findings are based on personal opinion. You prefer the Marantz. That's great, and I hope it continue's to satisfy.I personally prefer the accuracy, transparency, linearity and refinement of an Accuphase.
"Let's keep in mind that your findings are based on personal opinion. You prefer the Marantz".George the above statement is always the case, but having owned the Accuphase DP77 I can tell you that in my opinion the new Marantz is head sholders above the Accupahse that I owned in red-book and by far in SACD mode, I mean by far.
This does not make the Accupahse a bad unit, the Marantz is just better, if not I be selling it already.
These antagonistic posts are what really unnerve me about this place at times. It was clear to me that you weren't showing off or suggesting that $7,000 isn't a ton of money, but saying that this player sounds better than others that are even more expensive. Some people are just looking for a fight.
Thanks!! and your right, you try to share information and you get ripped for it, hey it is a lot of money, my dad would roll over in his grave if he heard how much this unit was.Having said that I had a Linn CD12 at home for a week once and it cost almost 3 times as much and this unit sounds as good on red-book and the CD12 had no peer at playback of Red-Book.
This unit makes normal cd if recored well sound like SACD almost, and just good recording excellent on all counts, but a crappy recording though better, still sounds rough, can make carp sound good, but it is listenable and with the filter I can really make it enjoyable at that is great option to have.
