Marantz SA-1 (SACD player) available ?


Has anyone seen the arrival of the Marantz SA-1, SACD player yet? What is the retail price? How does it compare to the Sont SACD player?

I understand,If you were just starting out. sacd,if your rich enough.I don't have inside info,but in the mags.I see less than 50 titles.If you have 100's of cd's why not Purcell up sampler for that 5 grand and improve the sound of every thing you already own? Not to mention-seen any 5.99 sacd's? reminds me of a joke on an old Redd Foxx party "record"-an old bull & a young bull on top of a hill were both looking down at the cows in the pasture.The young bull says "lets run down and make love to one of them cows"the old bull says"lets WALK down and make love to ALL of them. Not trying to dampen your inthusiasm; early adopters pay the price.At 62 I have seen formats come and go.Not predicting sacd's future,but you just KNOW 2nd generation will be much better,and probably cheaper.Already bought my Purcell.I'm sure 2nd generation up samplers will share the same destiny. enjoy
