I had the Marantz SACD 805. I also had the Marantz streamer/DAC NA 7004. Based on these 2 pieces, I would say that there is a Marantz House sound. It's smooth, but rolls of the top end to much for my liking.
I also have Oppo 105, and sold both the Marantz components off after purchasing it. It blew them both away in sound and functionality (the Marantz streamer in particular was a real P.O.S. With a terrible buggy app)..
I currently use the Oppo mainly as a transport. I play DSD from SACDs into a Bryston BDA-3 DAC via HDMI. If you ever decide to go that route, you can do it from Oppo and Sony players but not from Marantz. However, that's icing on the cake. After living with both, I would never step down from an Oppo to a Marantz.
btw, I also have one of the Denon high end 2 channel SACD players and fortunately it doesn't sound like Marantz
