I tried an SA8005 in my system for a few months, didn't really care for it. I didn't like the small controls on the player and got rid of it pretty quickly. I ended up getting a McIntosh MCD 301 SACD player which I love and matches the rest of the McIntosh system. Sound wise, the SA8005 sounded fine but I couldn't get over the cheap feel of the controls.
SACD advice: is the Marantz SA-14S1 that much better than the SA8005?
Title says it all; I'm considering getting one or the other. Don't have a huge SACD collection, but would like something good as a player. Does anyone have any experience comparing the two Marantz players I mentioned?
Thanks in advance for your advice.
