Marantz SA-10

I currently own a Modwright Marantz SA-8005. Its has some upgrades including a WyWires umbilical and SR Purple fuse. Its a great player but I'm considering some system upgrades and the Modwright outboard PS will be an issue. The plan was to move to either an Esoteric/Luxman unit but after doing some research another possible candidate might be a Marantz SA-10. Has anyone had a chance to compare the SA-10 with the Modwright SA-8005? Would the SA-10 be and upgrade or just a sideways move? As always your feedback is appreciated.

@cmach I am in the same boat.  My Modwright Marantz 8005 has served me very well and the Marantz SA-10, Esoteric K-03XD and Luxman D-10x are on my potential upgrade list.  I would be interested in your journey.  An outside entry would be the PS audio transport and dac when it becomes available.

@cmach thanks for the circle back!  I still I have my Modwright and will be comparing it to the Luxman D-07x when it is is broken in.  My other thought was a Holo May KTE dac with a PS audio transport, but I'm trying to reduce my "boxes".  The true test is when I can bring the Luxman into my system for a direct A/B from the dealer.  Glad to hear your thoughts on the SA-10 and that is still in the mix.
