Marantz SA-KI Ruby vs Denon DCS-A110 Anniversary Edition

I am thinking of upgrading from a Marantz CD 6007. Does anyone have experience comparing these two?

I ended up with the 30n sacd when choosing at this price point and couldn't be happier!

I kind of wish it had xlr outputs like it's big brother the Marantz SA10, but it wasn't a deal breaker, especially at the cost.

SA-10 is that good sonically, well worth the money. I use XLR outs. settings, Dither 1, Noiseshaping 3-1, headphone amp off, Gain set to low (does make a difference for some reason, mid is OK, but low is more details). Sound s best ofter being on and in use for a few hours.
