Marantz SA-10

Description

The Marantz SA-10 is a no-compromise reference SACD/CD player and high-performance DAC, engineered to deliver true high-resolution playback from discs and digital sources alike. Crafted in Shirakawa, Japan and built around the exclusive Marantz Musical Mastering (MMM) digital-to-analog conversion platform, the SA-10 redefines disc-based audio performance. This player uses the proprietary SACD-M3 transport mechanism to read CD, SACD, and data discs with maximum precision. It plays back PCM and DSD files from USB and disc with stunning detail, supported by the Marantz-designed MMM-Stream and MMM-Conversion system, which upconverts all PCM to DSD and processes it via a discrete Marantz digital-to-analog solution rather than an off-the-shelf DAC chip. Key features include: Plays SACD, CD, CD-R/RW, DSD (up to DSD11.2), WAV, FLAC, ALAC, MP3, AAC USB-B DAC input supporting 384kHz/32-bit PCM and DSD11.2 (DoP) Coaxial and optical digital inputs and outputs Fully isolated asynchronous USB DAC mode Custom Marantz HDAM & HDAM-SA2 analog stages Toroidal transformer, copper-plated chassis, and aluminum top cover Balanced XLR and unbalanced RCA analog outputs Precision SACD-M3 metal transport Headphone output with HDAM-based buffer stage The SA-10 is ideal for both physical media lovers and high-resolution digital audio users looking to rediscover their library with unmatched clarity and refinement.
