Depends on what your motivation is, I guess. Why would you want to do this?

And what Marantz are you referring to?

The main reason would be to reduce clutter, simplify. My main source is my K07 sacd player, once in a while my tuner. I don't like running the sacd player directly into my power amps so a high-quality integrated would have a pre-amp section and provide the sound I prefer hopefully !!!

MA9-S2 mono-blocs and SC7S-2 pre-amp.

If it were me I would never get rid of that awesome Reference gear, Marantz doesn't make anything at that level anymore. It's not me, it's you, and you're considering an all-in-one box to save space. Maybe using a tall single-wide rack would help reduce clutter, if you don't already have one?

Tom.......Find a clean pre-owned McIntosh MA7000. You'll never look back.

Dan I've owned a MA-7000, if I chose to go Mac I might like to try the new MA-8000. I'm also looking at Sim Audio's I600 and I700, Pass Labs INT-150. Who knows, I might decide to keep my Marantz Ref stuff ???

I want to be as sure as possible, once they're gone that's it. Still weighing my options and looking at gear !!!
