Marantz SA-10 arriving Monday!


I've been hearing and reading all I can about this player during this last year. I have a 6005 right now and it's a nice player but not as good as my analog rig (10k) so it's not a fair comparison. Elizabeth mentioned that her SA-10 is better than her analog. I will be comparing the 2 SACD players side by side. I have at least 3 CD's in which I have duplicates. I'm fascinated about how the circuitry upsamples to DSD SACD. Well not exactly but somehow an improvement over Redbook CD. I have a 2" thick maple block coming in the same day for it. It's going to be a long weekend. I know it can't work miracles on all CD's. If there is jitter in the recording then supposedly you will never get that out. Speak up if I'm wrong about that.

A little friendly advice. Throw away all six of those Blonde on Blonde and just buy one, the Japanese DSD SACD Fat Digipack. Thank me now or thank me later.
Correct me if I’m wrong but didn’t you just answer your own question? 
One wonders if the CD layer suffers the same overly aggressive compression as the SACD layer? 😬
The Bright Star Little Rock and VPI Brick, as it turns out, were not competitors. On the other hand, once upon a time Barry of Bright Star and I were competitors, but not in a bad way.
