Marantz CD6003 Group Buy

I got mine from dealer in bangalore by paying around 24K. As I was desperate and couldn't wait.
Congrats, that completes a perfect stereo setup. When you have time, can you do a small A-B compare between OPPO and Marantz?
It is interesting, initially CDP got me really worried
Start with it was very dull and muddy. As it was also made in china, I thought either got my hands into fake or reviews were marketing gimmick.
Today after extended sessions it really opened up and sounding very nice.
The other thing is scratchy discs always play without any hiccups in Oppo compared to Marantz. Not sure wthether 1GB memory
has any role to play
Infact it was little disheartening that Marantz is getting stuck on error corrections and making those noises similar to of cheap CD players.
I have to wait for 'CS4396 + HDAM' to break in before I comment on it audio performance.
Otherwise I dont think it will be fair
I feel Oppo is real good player and will definitely standout if I enhance in Analog board through Mod. On the other it is not easy to use without a TV screen or monitor.
On the other side Navigating to Songs or Folders on Marantz is quite easy
The only annoying thing though, it doesnt start playing the CD, waits for you to press 'Play'. To switch from USB to CD there is no remote key/
This is what NuForce have to put on their site as Cirrus Logic CS4382(oppo 95 and Oppo BDP 83) with their analog boards almost reached eternity. So they stopped their upgrades for ESS Sabre version as they were not able to justify sonic differences at that price level.
'The performance of BDP-93 Xtreme Edition has surpassed our highest expectation and we do not believe that we can improve BDP-95 Xtreme Edition with sufficient performance difference to justify a much higher price. Therefore BDP-95 Xtreme Edition project has been terminated'
Thanks

Yes my Oppo BD-80 performs flawlessly with bad discs.. where the CD6002 gets stuck like a broken record. The BD-80 sounds thinner than the 6002 otherwise I would sell my 6002

Hello Denom,
Any update on this from the dealer? This thread is silent for almost one week, we're eagerly waiting. Please inquire if there's a possibility of adding the CD5004 to this group buy.

Hi all,
Sorry for not updating earlier as thought this deal was never going to take place!
Anyway, am getting lots of PM's on the subject hence decided to update the thread here & get everyone upto speed on current status.
The dealer has been really trying his best to get the stocks of the CD6003, but distri has told him that the consignment is stuck in customs. He now expects it to be cleared in next week following which the dealer will keep me posted on the availability of the same @ his shop.
Hope all interested have the patience to bear till then. Most of the interested folks have done till now
Will keep all posted once I hear from the dealer.
Regards

Hope all necessary info is conveyed to all interested

@ denom ... "suspicions cast over my integrity" .... you would always have many jokers doing so.
Why is it that you are hell bent on repeating this statement time and again? Has it helped? Instead, keep your trap shut on the whether you are getting monetarily benefited or not ..... Unfortunately, the world has become like that.
So, if anyone wants to avail of ..... the hard work put in by you .... they are welcome to reap in the benefits. You DO NOT need to answer any of anyone's queries from now on ..... writing on the wall should be .... if interested, pay and pick up ..... :indifferent14:

Friends, I finally picked the Marantz CD6003 yesterday from this group buy from the dealer in Mumbai. I preferred to have a demo first so went personally to their demo room. It's a great experience with the guy who is looking into this deal. He spend almost 1 hour and gave me a good feel of all his audio setup. I just arrived at home, I'm so much excited to fit it into my setup. I'll let you know how it's performing asap.
