Description from the seller
The SA-KI Pearl was released by Marantz in 2009 as a limited edition, to celebrate 30 years of Ken Ishiwata with the brand. Ishiwata had long been the face and sound designer of Marantz. When new, this player cost $2,999. Stereophile, Dagogo, and HomeTheaterReview described it as one of the most musical SACD players of its generation: warm, detailed, and with a natural sound that isn’t tiring.
