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.

Thank You for sharing your impression/thought on the SA-10. What other gear including cabling rounds out the system?  Happy Listening!

Actually I'm starting to like my TT a little more. New re tip. The SA-10 IS TOP notch but I'm realizing the CD format is a flawed media and streaming is very very good. Maybe I need a new IC or something for tge Marantz. I still hear digital noise.
