Nice review. I'm in my first month of ownership of a Marantz SA8005 and I love it. I sincerely hope that the forecasted death of the CD does not come to pass.

... "three tiny, spring-loaded metal balls" appears identical to the sort of mechanism found in a $20 portable CD player.

If you like the performance of the Wolfson WM8742 DAC, then you ought to try the Onkyo C-7070 CD player, which uses a pair of them - and costs only $800:

it depends.ten years ago i bought the third nagra cdc ever made,actual list €16500.lately i began to suspect that the cdpro drive stuttered on some cdrs.i sent it back to nagra where,after three weeks it came back with a brand new drive,a software upgrade and the old drive which had proved blameless on examination.price including shipping was well less than a tenth of list.draw your conclusions
