Marantz SA-11S3 Reference SACD/CD player

The Marantz SA-11S2
was one of the most musical and best-reviewed CD/SACD players we had ever
heard...and now it's even better! The completely redesigned Marantz
Reference SA-11S3 offers several major advancements over its
predecessor. Fully updated and improved, this award-winning player now includes
a USB DAC with asynchronous input and 24bit/192kHz decoding. A new
custom digital filter features 8x oversampling and
user-adjustable settings. The custom-built Marantz transport mechanism is
included from the SA-7S1, a fully-copper-enclosed toroidal
transformer, the newest Nippon DACs, a customized low-jitter clock,
and the Marantz HDAM-SA2 analog output stage have
all been upgraded, as well.Bottom line: this digital work station does it all
and does it right.

"The SA-11S3
may be the best digital source component from Marantz yet. It is a virtual
Swiss Army knife of digital playback. Not only does the SA-11S3 act as a
digital hub and a DAC, but it is one with no compromise in quality across the
board. By the way, it is also a superb SACD player."

– Andre Marc, AV Revolution

The reference-player weighs in at
almost 40 pounds with an all-new black anodized aluminum billet chassis copper
lined chassis. A luxurious measure against radiated noise, copper-lining adds
considerable mass for enhanced resonance damping as well. The player’s massive
transformer has an additional copper shield to minimize signal interference. We
don't need to tell you the new look is simply gorgeous.

The
SACD-optimized Hyper Dynamic Amplifier Modules (HDAM SA2) achieve
a more dynamic, detailed, and accurate analog signal through either the RCA or
XLR outputs. The digital input options now includes a front-panel USB-A for connecting
your iPhone, iPod, iPad or similar device directly to the SA-11s3's
incredible DAC. As well as coaxial (S/PDIF), optical (TOS-Link) and USB rear
connections for playback of all your digital music files. The SA-11s3 also
includes balanced (XLR) and single-ended (RCA) outputs for complete
compatibility with any system.

The SA-11s3 includes Marantz's
proprietary switchable noise shaping digital filters which
fine-tune the musical presentation to your specific tastes. This is the
ultimate analog lover's digital player. Whether playing high-resolution SACDs
or standard CD, the performance of the SA-11s3 is simply
unrivaled!
