Rega Jupiter vs Marantz SA14

Looking to purchase one of these units but torn between the technologies. I've heard wonderful things about the Jupiter, but SACD is very tempting! I've heard the Jupiter many times, but haven't had a chance to hear the SA14. I listen to acoustic, and vocal selections, with an emphasis on piano, and female vocals. I'd love any comments or suggestions.

Associated Equipment:
Rotel 951 front end, Parasound 850 preamp, Dynaco St-70 amplifier, Joseph RM22si speaks

Will be upgrading next year to Rogue Audio middle components, as well as adding a Rega p25 table.

i have not heard the marantz, so i cannot compare. i can just say that the jupiter is a wonderful cd player, and is the best i've ever heard. not to say that there isn't a better one, mind you, just that i have yet to hear one. (parents have linn mimik, heard jolida, 47 labs and a few others)

i obviously don't regret getting it and would recommend it to anybody. for the first time, i have NO interest in updating my cd player.
