Excellent top end sparkle, its higher note beat every player I have owned so far.
The overall sound is clean and clear but I feel like it lack some low end grunt. Anyway, if you are looking for a player which render the female voice beautifully you won't be disappointed.

Some critics mentioned about it lacks of life, I'm quite agree because comparing to the Vinyl play on my Rega P3 with RB300 arm and the simple MM Rega Elys cartridge, the presentation of the marantz seems to lost some involvement. Anyway it is still hard to find a CD or SACD player that deliver an emotion similar to LP.

The build quality is also SUPERB! The remote control is also very nice looking.

The down side is the screen is very hard to read and unreadable from 2 meters away.
