Marantz SA-KI Ruby CD/SACD Signature DSD player! Special edition! excellent cond!

This is a 2.5 year old special edition Marantz SA KI Ruby. The KI stands for Kenny Ishiwata, and this high end CD/SACD player bears his signature. This is a beautifully made and  finished player weight almost 40pounds. Beautiful sound, slightly warm, well extended, good bass definition and wide sound stage, and has asynchronous USB dac. Note; the only difference between this and the top of line SACD 10 is this is unbalanced compared to the balanced SACD 10. Not an issues if your amplifier is not and minute differences in any case.
I am the original owner and it is in excellent condition. I am selling because I need a streamer also in addition to CD/SACD player. This has Marantz built custom transport and avoids a DAC but directly converting the signal to DSD. More description is below and from the Marantz website https://www.marantz.com/en-us/product/cd-players/sakiruby.
I prefer cashiers check and MO's. Paypal is acceptable with a 3% fee. Shipping will run $70-85 to most places. Buy with confidence.

SACD/CD Player for Singular Experiences: Fine-Tuned by Iconic Marantz
Engineer Ken Ishiwata, SA-KI Ruby Features Unfettered Purity and
Supports up to DSD11.2MHz

KThe Japanese-built SA-KI Ruby is such a product, an extremely special SACD/CD player and DAC devised to commemorate Ishiwata's 40th anniversary with Marantz and demonstrate music's unlimited potential to directly connect with our souls when it is presented with no-unfettered purity, clarity, and liveliness.

Appointed with a classy ruby motif, fine-tuned by Ishiwata himself,
and limited to only 1,000 units worldwide, SA-KI Ruby represents the
legendary engineer's unrivaled devotion to tireless critical listening –
a pursuit that makes each component he creates for Marantz completely
unique and distinguished from the products of any other manufacturer.
The globally recognized Ishiwata touts one of the most astute ears in
the business. His dedication to repeat testing, blending, auditioning,
refining, and testing again until the sonics of a given component exceed
his demanding criteria translate into otherworldly involvement. With
SI-KI Ruby, you are investing in a SACD/CD player and DAC that
is far more than an example of cutting-edge technology. You will own an
discerning device that pulses with human soul spirit, provides
