This Used Marantz Reference Series SA-7S1 SACD Player is in great shape. It is fully functioning and clean cosmetically. Fully inspected and tested by Schroeder Amplification.
Marantz has been building some of the world's finest audio equipment for over half a century, and this 49-pound flagship CD/Super Audio CD player from their Reference Series lives up to that tradition of zero-compromise design. The SA-7S1 starts with a rugged chassis that's plated with copper to virtually eliminate noise and outside interference. A double-layered bottom plate increases rigidity and adds resistance to the tiny vibrations that can prevent your equipment from performing at its peak.
The '7S1's precision circuitry includes two high-end digital-to-analog converters designed to reproduce every bit of warmth and detail on your CDs and SACDs. A digital isolator provides separate ground points for the digital and analog circuits to prevent interference and maintain signal purity. Machined brass outputs on the back of the player provide a solid connection to your receiver or amp. It all adds up to one thing — faithful music reproduction with an unparalleled level of detail and accuracy.
A specially designed transformer inside of a copper-shielded case supplies this advanced player with power. This transformer is more efficient than conventional power supplies for cooler operation, emits no perceivable hum or interference, and provides the SA-7S1 with clean, stable current.
The '7S1's sturdy construction and no-holds-barred design let it take full advantage of Super Audio CD's greater dynamic range and wider frequency response to deliver crystal-clear audio with a broad soundstage and precise imaging. The SA-7S1 also breathes new life into regular CDs — allowing you to hear subtle nuances in your music that you may not have heard before. A die-cast aluminum mechanism stabilizes your discs and keeps the laser on track for error-free playback. Turning off the unit's display via a button on the remote eliminates any noise that the display may generate, for even greater sonic purity.
