Yep. I got one. Never been tempted to buy a modern transport to replace it. Run it straight into a MDAC and it sounds very good. GLWTS!

Yes, Marantz undertook a large number of modifications to the standard unit, including better transformers and capacitors, acoustic damping and chassis reinforcement.

Yes, I'm surprised that this hasn't sold yet. It is genuinely very low use and in as new condition. Somewhat redundant now in my all streaming system though!
