UD9004
That's it, think the SA-7S1 with everything audio you can play in stereo and MCH ever made for optical audio media.
I am so moved by this player, I love Marantz. I finally got a backup one too, have the service manual, should work until processors/receivers can catch up to make DSD transmission worthwhile. Until then new interconnects for me only.
Ralph, in answer to /showthread/109998/112248#112248 perhaps you should search for the UD9004 after Christmas and bargain for more discounting, for it's been discontinued—but release date of an equivalent incarnation is unknown :

As Ken said in /showthread/109290/111119#111119 :
"We are witnessing the end of packaged media."
Under Ken's assertion that it's "a new start, a new era" for Marantz, he is surely contributing his vast knowledge, not least an appreciation of present lifestyles and consumer needs, to the design team developing new multi-channel products, particularly for the UD line that retains disc playback whilst implementing latest...

The Marantz Consolette is simply superb for its price, I sincerely recommend it...

Setting the recommended retail price (and communicating a local understanding) of a product is the sole decision of the importer—so called "official distributor" ; it simply differs from country to country ?!
I've just chanced upon the Consolette discount promotion from Marantz America's page :

Clicking through to see its current status, I find a new link showing it's now 539.99 USD :

America MSRP is 1,199.00 USD :

Whereas, disrespecting the exchange rate (recently, and right now, 1 New Zealand Dollar equals 0.84 US Dollar), the official New Zealand Marantz distributor sets the price at 1,999.00 NZD :

If you've followed my Posts then you'd know that (because Ken was heavily involved in fine-tuning its performance) I've bought one and do recommend it as a splendid playback solution (especially, let's say, for your teenager, your own studio/modest living room/bedroom, or taking it to the holiday home) with your SA-CD player (using RCA connection) when you're not using AirPlay (which I prefer over docking) or DLNA (for android and windows phones).
"Low Stock" (act soon if you're [in the USA and is] interested)
