Sale on Marantz PM Ki Ruby Integrated!

Selling the partner CD/SACD player for same price. One customer review says it betters the sound of the Oppo 205 (my reference). Lacks balanced outputs and no HDMI out (show stoppers). Otherwise, looks like a fine player. 

Thanks for the heads up!  I have the KI-Pearl SACD player and might replace it with the Ruby.  Interestingly, some of the specs on the Pearl look better than the Ruby, but I have to think the Ruby would be a step up due to a number of other refinements (a different DAC and better transport to name a couple).

Wondering if anyone has compared the Pearl to Ruby?

Wow.  I just ordered the CD/SACD unit, as a back-up for when companies drop disc players for streaming.  Thanks for the notice!

I'm not sure about the Class D. I have not heard a Class D amp yet. Isn't there now a Class G?

I just ordered a Pathos Classic Remix (based on the Classic One). This Marantz is now in the similar price class as the Remix and Classic One.

@analogj , Yes, there is also Class G.  It's been around for a long time but not so popular.  I had a Creek that ran the first twenty watts in Class A then moved over to switching--a Class G design.  It was super strong and I loved it. 

I've had two Class D amps. Both sound super clear and had gobs of power.  The body of the music was a bit thin though.  The technology has surely changed. I'm excited to try this one from Marantz. And I'm a tube head!
