SA-14S1Reference Super Audio CD Player.
MARANTZ HDAM TECHNOLOGY
Compared to other disc players that employ multiple op-amp ICs, the SA-14S1 Special Edition features our exclusive HDAM technology that employs dedicated modules featuring discrete components that together deliver wide dynamic range and fast slew rate for a true wideband response.
HIGH CURRENT POWER SUPPLY
The power supply features a large high current toroidal power transformer that features OFC (oxygen-free copper) secondary windings, along with high speed, high current Schottky Barrier Diodes in the rectifier stage for the purest DC voltage output.
REFERENCE CLASS D/A CONVERSION
In order to handle the widest range of disc and audio file types, the SA-14S1 Special Edition incorporates the reference class DSD1792 digital-to-analog converter, which provides up to 192 kHz/24 bit resolution, along with DSD decoding with Super Audio CDs. To prevent interference between the various stages, the power supply, digital audio stage and analog audio stages each feature their own individual circuit boards. A variety of disc and file types are supported including music CDs and Super Audio CDs, as well as linear PCM, AAC, MP3, and WAV file types. Via the rear panel USB-B port, you can connect your computer and enjoy audio files including High-Resolution DSD 2.8MHz and 5.6MHz for maximized versatility and performance.
