Amazing SACD player in great condition, plays everything I have thrown at it and sounds wonderful. Why I am selling? This is in my 2.2 channel setup attached to the main family TV, and it will only switch inputs manually, which means I am constantly yelled at by the wife and kids. So, I went a different direction.
This is in excellent condition with one small mark on one edge of the face, the face and rest of the body are nearly flawless save a few faint rub marks (I will get pics up tonight or tomorrow). No box or original remote, but I do have a Marantz RC001PMCD (for the Marantz CD6005) that controls all functions, including input switching and layer selection (its redbook by default, you have to select the SACD layer). I know how to pack, and have sold and shipped many items over the years.
I am asking exactly what I paid for this: $1065 plus actual shipping via FedEx ground fully insured plus any applicable PayPal fees. I will leave this here exclusively for about a week, and then it will be listed on the 'gon for mo' money.

Stupid good price. If I hadn't just bought the Tri Vista I'd be all over it. Heard the s3 version of this a few months ago and it sounded better to me than the Esoteric player they had. Somebody buy this.

I would love for this thing to move from Central Texas to North Texas, but I just can’t make it happen right now. I love my 8005 and I know this would be a nice upgrade.Things work out best for those who make the best of the way things work out.-John Wooden

And just to be clear on the input switching, both the remote and the button on the front panel switch inputs just fine, but I could not get my harmony to switch inputs through a macro command.
Also, SACDs play perfect and sound great! Per the manual, on hybrid discs you should select the layer that you want before pushing play, which works great!Living Room 2.2: Usher BE-718 "tiny dancers"; Dual DIY Dayton audio RSS210HF-4 Subs with Dayton SPA-250 amps; Arcam SA30; Musical Fidelity A308; Sony UBP-x1000es

This sucker is heavy! It weights at least as much as my old Cambridge Azur 851a integrated amp. Other than my 40 lb MF A308 integrated, this is the heavy piece of 2 channel gear I’ve owned...Living Room 2.2: Usher BE-718 "tiny dancers"; Dual DIY Dayton audio RSS210HF-4 Subs with Dayton SPA-250 amps; Arcam SA30; Musical Fidelity A308; Sony UBP-x1000es
