About the SA-14S1
The Marantz SA-14S1 is a high-end Super Audio CD (SACD) and CD player from the Reference Series, designed for audiophile-grade playback of SACDs, CDs, CD-R/RW (including MP3/WMA), and high-resolution digital audio files. It incorporates a center-mounted optical disc drive mechanism for precise readout, Marantz HDAM-SA2 analog circuits for superior sound quality, and a high-current Burr-Brown DSD1792A DAC supporting PCM up to 192kHz/24-bit and DSD 2.8/5.6MHz via USB-B with ground/signal isolation and asynchronous mode. Additional features include front-panel USB-A for flash drives/iPod, optical/coaxial digital inputs/outputs, full discrete headphone amplifier with volume control, toroidal transformer, low-noise LCD display, and remote control RC001PMSA. It pairs ideally with the PM-14S1 amplifier. Note: Original model from ~2013; repair parts like the CD mechanism are scarce, indicating end-of-support.
