Has anyone listened to the Marantz sa8004?

Has anyone listened to the new Marantz sa8004 and can comment on it or compare it to other SACD players?

I only hope the 8004 is as good as the 8001. (I guess it is supposed to be better, but I note Johnjohn's comment.) Running the same music from computer through DacMagic v. CD played through the SA8001 - no comparision - the Marantz DAC is great.

I recently added the 8004 and Merlin TSMs to my set up and played the Merlins for a couple weeks before i got the cdp. Seems that the last couple times i have listened for a while there is more body...especially in the lower midrange. Just curious if others have noticed the same.
