For what it's worth, I have the Marantz DV6001 used for 2 channel and multi-channel SACD and it is superb for the money. I can't believe the sound that comes from this unit. Love it. I would say the DV9500 would sound even better. Is this new or discontinued? The Accuphase DP-11 is 1990 vintage. It has only an 18-bit DAC where the Marantz has 24-bit. Having said all this, it's still comes down to the sound but CD players have improved dramatically since the early 1990s, even over the past 5 years. My vote would be for the Marantz. Are you buying the Marantz preowned?
