A gentleman on a different Site posted the following link to where these new models were listed although no pictures, there is a description if you can read Italian: C48 and C50 analog preamps, MC 302 and MC 452 amps and a MCD1100.

Here is the description of the MCD1100. I can't read Italian but I do see the word "SACD" in there. Odd there is no MDA1100.

Looks like it has DA converter, with analog output. Maybe there is no MDA1100, and this combines the functions of the MDA1000/MCD1000 + SACD. I am too happy with my MDA1000/MCD1000 + Marantz SA11-S2 to buy this since my music server only does 24/96.

I like the idea of one box.

how much does 24 vs 32 bit really do in general?

Higher resolution.

I allways thought the sample rate (192 kHz for example) was the resolution. Perhaps a combination of both then?

I will have to spend time with one before I decide. I am way too happy with my D-07 DAC to think about swapping it out. I never say never.
