Marantz PM KI Pearl Integrated

I was considering upgrading one of my integrateds recently and came close to pulling the trigger on a KI Pearl.  I haven't heard one, but have owned a few Marantz pieces, including a KI Pearl SACD player, which is probably the nicest sounding source in my system.  If it shares the same sonic DNA, expect it to be just a little on the warm side with lots of detail and very listenable.  If you look at hifishark sales history they range between $1500 - $2000.

I think that's a no on your question about the sacd player but I'm not home and can neither confirm or deny...

I'd grab it. I doubt it will be either of those things. It's local, so you'll be able to audition it, correct? 

According to Michael Fremer's Stereophile review of the SACD it has a Toslink input, so you should be able to use it as a DAC. I've never tried with mine.
