okw3188 0 Report post Posted December 24, 2010 I'm very happy with the sound, now that it is burn-in to about 300 hrs. I've made my own iPod docking cable with Cat5e and a shielded USB2 cable. Both sound much better than the original cable from Apple. The built-in DAC is fantastic! On a good recording, the lossless sounds just as good as the CD itself. Coming from the audiophile point of view, this player is definitely worth at least 2 times its price, for both the function and sound quality. Well, my next exploration, is the Audeze LCD-2!!

zer061zer0 0 Report post Posted January 11, 2011 Wow, Marantz released a lite version of the SA-KI Pearl? If it's within your budget, go for it. Another option in your price range is the Cambridge Audio 740C at Alpha Audio. Any idea how much is this CAmbridge audio cdp? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stargazer 0 Report post Posted January 16, 2011 If not wrong should be region of $1k odd, to be exact not sure. Just find that Cambridge Audio & the prices rather commercialized. At this kinda region pricing, many other choices as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

At this kinda region pricing, many other choices as well. Fully agree with this...that's mainly the reason why I go for other brands other than CA as well. If want to buy CA, might be better off with a good cond preowned set. Pay a lot less, lose less imho. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
metalgear 0 Report post Posted November 5, 2011 The Marantz KI SACD player (not lite) has an excellent headphone out section...can drive some cans like the d7000 with aplomb. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
