Marantz recently introduced the ST-7001 AM/FM/XM Tuner. Retail is $599 but Music Direct has it for $399.

Has anyone heard one?

The display looks sort of small and nondescript. I checked the pics over on Music Direct, but there weren't any good ones. I would be interested in buying one of these myself.

These are the best pics I could find.

Hope those pics aren't to scale.

Note that there is NO digital output from the XM tuner, so you're stuck with whatever DACs Marantz puts in. I couldn't find anything on what those are.

I see what appear to be both coax (orange RCA type jack) and optic (smaller black jack to the right of the coax jacks) outputs.

Go to the ProZoom on the right side to get some close-up shots

$400.00 and no digital out?!? Screw that, I'll stick with the Polk for $120.00 less. Bad move Marantz.
