Marantz SA7S1

I just read the review in absolute sound and must say it is totally uninformative as to how the player sounds. I did see the full page ad Marantz took out a few pages earlier, so I am guessing the vague "this is a great player" review is why we saw that. With that said, does anyone have real world experience and comparisons of this player or is it just a 50 pound expensive enigma?
