I think the Technics leans slightly brighter with a little more energy at the top end. The Marantz on the other hands sounds a little bit more refined and arguably more high-end. But, I could live with either, both are very good. The rest is more on looks which is even more subjective. In that department, the Marantz also looks more expensive mainly because it is bigger in size as higher end gear tends to be bigger and heavier. The Technics in comparison looks more entry level if you will, kind of similar to a Rotel. But, at this price point, I would also audition the Denon DCD-A110 to see how it compares as I am currently using a Denon DCD-1600 NE.
It seems that the Marantz was playing louder than the Technics. Both machines should be matched for loudness for better judgement. Overall, the Technics sounded more refined, the Marantz sounded more rounded but there was slight distortion on the crescendos (maybe due to louder playing). For long-term listening I would prefer the Technics.

Thank you for your helpful comments. When recording with a microphone, I adjust the volume during editing, but sometimes it may not be done perfectly. I will continue to be careful.
