Marantz SA-11S3 SACD Player - Gold

Here we have a fine disc player from Marantz, one of the originators of the digital music format. Not only will the SA-11S3 get the best from all your standard CD’s, but it can play high resolution audio whether from disc (SACD) or act as a Digital to Analogue Converter from Hard Disc sources such as computers and USB drives. Our example is in very good condition and is supplied in original factory packaging, along with remote control, manual, mains cable and our standard three month warranty. Note that this unit comes from a smoking household and is priced accordingly.
Marantz Say….
This third generation of the spectacular SA-11 features a brand new SACD two-disc mechanism and a new High Current Audiophile D/A Converter. The result is even finer, more delicate audio detail. But even before these new refinements, this player was already standards-setter of repute because it utilises many of the advanced technologies that were originally developed for the Reference Series SA-7S1. For example, it uses the exclusive-to-Marantz Dynamic Digital Filtering technology, which makes standard CDs sound as incredible as SACDs. It offers two filters for different tastes, not just for discs, but for any digital signal. What’s more, it uses a high-end algorithm previously used only in professional recording studios. This type of filtering retains greater detail for an even wider sound stage and a perfect balance. In addition, it provides fully balanced signal handling on short, symmetrical, and discrete circuit architecture as well as the HDAM®SA2 high-speed amplifier module. The internal high-precision clock minimises jitter to the lowest possible level, while the rigid double-layer chassis dampens vibration to an absolute minimum. There is also extensive copper-plating and system-block shielding to keep the signal as clean as possible. You also get a high-quality headphone output featuring HDAM®SA2 and current feedback amplification. In addition, we have included a USB input on the front panel for playback and recharging. The DAC mode offers three digital inputs – the USB-B works in asynchronous mode when directly connected to the PC, plus coaxial and optical digital input. All of which means, you get more detail, more precision and more emotion than ever – and all in a wide-open sound stage that positions every instrument and vocalist with pin-point precision. This is enjoyment to the extreme.
