Marantz SA10 sacd player

Matthew good idea to check as Sharri said. I just played mine 4hrs.I wonder if the Cound begins upon turning it on or only when playing sacd or even redbook.Since they are only $51 and I have tech here.And I play them a lot. I will order 2 more keens.-

Matthew my SA 10 was back to factory reset. If not playing for more than 1Hr it will go back to stand by mode which is good to save the lens.My 8005 marantz sacd player does it to.

The laser hours only count the time the laser is ON when reading a disc. 

Sharri thank you

I have the solution; spend more!  I bought the McIntosh MCD85 SACD player.  My logic was that it would open up my options on SACD and revive my CD collection. But alas like much in audio the results are mixed.

I have SACDs that are virtually equal to the sound I get with vinyl; and I have SACDs that sound no better than a CDs.  Same for CDs some just sound better, others no improvement.  

There's also the option to connect my streamer Marantz NA6005 to the MCD85 and use the better DAC.  Plus, connect the MCD85 to an amp with balanced cables.  I have it connected this way to a McIntosh MA352.

Was it worth it? There's no logic than I can spin here. I could buy a lot of premium vinyl with the price of the MDC85, but its a beautiful addition to the MA352 (if you like chrome) and there will always be service and parts from McIntosh.  So hunt for SACDs and spin away!
