marantz 8001

Hi-Rez Highway

New high resolution SACD releases, players and technology.

69.234.219.46

has anyone heard this sacd player? i believe it is just coming on the market, but there may have been a few around in the states as early as january. it is apparently the replacement for the marantz 8260. however the 8001 appears to be stereo only, like their higher end units. music direct has it for $899.
you may have seen an announcement about a model never released in the u.s. market, the marantz 7001, widely available in the u.k. and japan (as a matter of fact, it can be purchased for u.s. use on a japanese website, together w/ an inexpensive transformer).
supposedly both these models have incorporated marantz' technology employed in their pricey models; and they both appear to be stereo only single disc units.
it's good to see a few "not a sony" inexpensive sacd players coming out.
