Does'nt look like an upgrade on the CDp at least. Nothing much on offer.

Correct , it looked more like a sales chat. It is pointless to upgrade sideways anyways.

yes looks like it .. the only additional feature i could read is that it can now charge the ipod/ipad when connected

Are Modern day Marantz Cdp better than the old horse Marantz CD-63 MkII Ken Ishiwata Signature ? Can anyone comment who have heard or done AB comparison?

Thank you for your time.
