Ordered a Reference PM-10S1 integrated amp yesterday with special intro promo price from my local crack dealer. Expected delivery date is February, so will be jonesin' for certain...

I have the SA7s1 but use a W4S Dac, which I find mildly better. Also use the Dac for playing files off a dedicated laptop using Jplay. The new 10 looks good if the transport is as well built as the 7 and if this "non-dac" dac is the breakthrough they claim. I'd like having one high quality unit.

@LovingMusic, your post has made me wonder what my SA-7S1 would sound like through a PS Audio DirectStream DAC?

The PS Audio is supposed to be an excellent unit. I think the Marantz acts as a fine transport for any high quality outboard DAC. I'd like to see what the new model's digital processing is like since one box would be nice, but I'd have a hard time giving up my SA-7S1. It's such a well-built and great sounding player, even after all these years.

I'm amazed at the sound quality of the SA-7S1 as it only improves as I modify and upgrade the components around it. The SA-7S1 and my ARC Ref 40 Anniversary Preamp are both timeless classics. High praise indeed for the Marantz which is a fraction of the price of the ARC.

Anyone own or have heard the SA10 yet? Very interested. In search of my last SACD player.

I may have one this week for a play-with, depending on demand elsewhere. Will report back if so.
