Thanks for the responses, as well as the AA link. Sadly, this seems like a design/build issue and one I'll probably end up having to live with. Will keep me away from any future Marantz purchases, though.
Marantz SA 8260 Disc Error
I am on my second Marantz SA 8260 and have several discs that it simply won't read, or errors out on during listening. This is restricted to SACDs listening only--it is fine with Redbook CDs and the CD layer of SACDs.
It does appear to be consistent with certain SACDs (Peter Gabriel/Up and a couple of others), so I've discounted the hardware as being purely faulty. Nevertheless, it's a bit frustrating.
Anyone else with this problem, and if so, have you been able to isolate the cause?
