About the SA-11S1

The Marantz SA-11S1 is a reference series Super Audio CD (SACD) and CD player designed for audiophiles seeking superior stereo sound quality. It features a heavy copper-plated chassis that dampens resonances and shields circuits from electromagnetic interference, providing a stable platform for the disc and laser system. The player supports SACD stereo, CD, CD-R, and CD-RW playback, with selectable digital filters optimized for both SACD and CD formats. It uses triple HDAM® circuitry per channel and a Phase Error Compensation (PEC) circuit to virtually eliminate phase delay errors. The SA-11S1 includes balanced and unbalanced analog outputs, coaxial and optical digital outputs (for CD only), and a zero-noise LCD display. Its oversized toroidal transformer and copper shielding contribute to its low noise and high fidelity. The player comes with a metal remote control and offers selectable sound modes for hybrid discs. Dimensions are approximately 17-5/16" x 4-13/16" x 16-7/16" and it weighs about 30.8 lbs. It was released around 2004 and remains a highly regarded SACD/CD player in Marantz's Reference Series.
