I love this Marantz!

[Poultrygeist]

Since this has become a general Marantz thread and their SACD players have been discussed I'd welcome input on my dilemma. My CD players include a Rotel 855, an Integra DPS-7.2 and a Sony CE595 ( SACD ).

I have never heard a SA-8004 but can probably buy one at close to dealer cost but without the opportunity to audition it. I really like SACD and have close to fifty discs but I'm wondering if the Marantz SA-8004 would be a significant upgrade over what I currently own? I've always had the impression that CD players make the least amount of difference in a system but correct me if you think otherwise.

Poultry....I have Marantz 6001 SACDP and a Rotel RC 1055 CDP. The Rotel can not touch the Marantz SACDP.
