MARANTZ - SA-11S2 REFERENCE SACD - CD PLAYER

The Gold Standard Gets Better...
Meet the New Marantz SA-11s2!

The brand-new Marantz SA-11S2 is one of the most musical SACD/CD players we’ve heard! Updated for 2008, this award-winning player now includes the custom-built Marantz transport mechanism from the SA-7S1. The toroidal transformer, Nippon DACs, new low-jitter clock, and HDAM SA2 analog output stage have all been upgraded! The reference chassis combines full copper construction with additional shielding and a double-reinforced bottom plate for added isolation. The player’s massive transformer has an additional copper shield to minimize signal interference. The brand-new, SACD-optimized Hyper Dynamic Amplifier Modules (HDAM SA2) achieve a more dynamic, detailed, and accurate analog signal through either RCA or XLR outputs. The SA-11S2 includes Marantz’ proprietary switchable noise shaping digital filters which fine-tune the musical presentation to your specific tastes. The ultimate analog lover’s digital design! Our highest recommedation!

“The SA-11 gets an unqualified recommendation, both for its outstanding CD performance and even better SACD sound. Moreover, the unit’s stunning build quality, silky-smooth disc drawer, sensual remote control, and gorgeous metalwork made it a joy to use. The Marantz SA-11 is a perfect choice for those looking for true high-end performance from a mid-priced player!”
