Marantz SA-14 v.2 in United States?


Anyone know when this is going to be released in the United States. After months, I had just about settled on the Sony XA777ES, but then I heard version 2 of the SA-14 had been released in Japan. Since I am only interested in two-channel, I would like to audition before I purchase the Sony.

I have called Marantz, but have been unable to speak with anyone knowledgable

Thanks.

I was told by the people at Marantz that it was not going to be sold in the US. The 2 channel SACD players is going away. That is why you see the SA14 discounted so heavily. I think it is a great player--especially at the reduced price.
Anyone know what type of customer support I could get in US if I purchased this player from Japan? - if not from Marantz, is there anyway to get repairs done, parts replaced, etc? It is available shipped from Japan at about 2K. Thanks.
