Right now I'm using #2. I tried them both and quite frankly I didn't hear much if any diference. You said the player runs on the warm side. Do you mean how the music sounds or the actual temperature of the player? The reason I'm asking is because the SA11s3 ran very warm. I would feel the top of the player and it felt much warmer than I felt it should. It was just slightly less warm than my PM11s3. When I removed a cd the cd felt warm. I've had many CD players over the last 30 years and this was the first time I ever experienced this with a source component or a ss preamp. I didn't know if that's how was supposed to be or if there was something wrong. Maybe that excessive heat caused the player to fail. The Ruby on the other hand runs just warm enough so that when you touch the top you know the unit is on. The difference was night and day. If your Ruby runs slightly warm I wouldn't worry about it.
Marantz SA-KI Ruby SACD Player
If anyone is still interested in the Ruby SACD Player Music Direct just got a shipment in and they are still priced at $2995. From what I was told they are brand new in box with full warranty. I ordered one and hope to receive it by Friday or Saturday. I just thought I'd give you guys a heads-up.
