Marantz Sa8001 vs higher models.


Can Marantz cdp Sa-8001 sonically compete with its bigger brother like Sa-15 or Sa-11? I'm eying on the Sa-11S2 and just don't want to get beat up by the lesser Stereophile's Class-A 8001 or 8003.
Thanks a millions for reading.

Stereophile did a review of the SA-8001 in 2007 and said it bettered the venerable SA-15s1 and Benchmark Dac. Excelent construction with a wide deep soundstage and one of the best redbook players available, and fantastic with SACD discs. I have moved to a modded unit, take a look at my Ad mine is 5 months old. Exc Cond.
