Denon dcd 110 or Marantz saki Ruby?


So the title explain itself. I’m planning to upgrade my sacd player, currently an oppo 103. Recently launched the Denon dcd 110 and the not so new Marantz saki Ruby (I Will not consider the 30 which is lower than the SA KI). Im looking mostly for more musicality, more extended and deeper, more engaging sound. Which of them you think could bring better this sound?
Thank you!

I own a Ruby, purchased in July this year. If sacd is prominent in your listening, like mine, I highly recommend the Ruby, if you can find one. I have a collection of around 2000 discs, 70% sacd. The Ruby is lights out good.

Sericolo,

Where did you obtain the Service Manual for your Ruby player?

Sericolo,

Another question.

I have accessed Aging Mode per your directions above. TB1 is which laser? I would then presume TB2 would be the other.

There is also a T21 and a T22. What are they? I presume the numbers are hours.

How did you find the number of player hours ON?

Thanks, Steve

Thanks so much for all of this. I now have the Service Manual.

I have had my player since August 2020. I only play discs. I have about 2000 hours on each laser. Now I can keep track of this, which is good.

I live in Australia and have a full 4 year warranty on everything in the player. With players, the only real worry is the laser unit.
