Marantz SA-10 vs SA-KI Ruby

Hi all,

wondering if anyone one can explain what makes the difference in these 2 players? (Other than balanced outputs on the SA-10). 

MSRP difference is $2k...

Do people think they should sound the same?

thanks!

I tried buying the SA-KI Ruby for my second system (single-ended) but in my country they are only sold as pair with PM-KI Ruby.  My regular hi-fi shop suggested I should get another SA-10 since the actual retail price is a lot lower than the list price.  The Ruby being limited edition, need to pay at list price or even higher.

The SA-KI ruby is now available for purchase as an individual component. 

Could you tell me, what is the retail price of the SA-10?

And back to my original question, they seem to have the same transport and same DAC and same filtering tech - are they the same player?
