Marantz - the holy grail for SACD

I talked to Marantz tech support.  The say the SA-10; The SA-KI Ruby and the 30n basically have same drive, and very similar circuitry and sound same.  The differences are down to features such as balanced or single ended.
Has anyone done a comparison between the units?

The Marantz reference sa8005 was no slouch either. Still have mine and it works flawlessly. Marantz knows a thing or two about  how to build great sacd and cd players.

Nice score! There is no substitute for a Reference cd/sacd spinner!

Happy Listening!

it would be of interest to learn if Marantz stocks critical parts for repair/replacement on the 8005? Over time, the drive/laser assembly will require service.

Happy Listening!
