MARANTZ - SA-15 REFERENCE SACD - CD PLAYER


The Marantz Silver Reference Player! Unbeatable Performance for Under $2000!

For a Limited-Time... SAVE 30% on This Amazing CD/SACD Player! Was $2000... Now ONLY $1399!

The Marantz Two-Channel SA-15 has just raised the bar for digital players under $2000! The sound of the SA-15 is nothing short of breath-taking and considering its price, it’s a revelation! Whether playing standard CDs or SACDs, we have not heard any player in this price range that can compete! Marantz has so much confidence in the design and build quality of the SA-15, it comes with a full Three Year parts and Labor Warranty!

Built on the platform of the $3200 SA-11s2, the SA-15 has the same double bottom plate to keep vibration away from the customized transport. The SA-15 uses the Cirrus Logic CS4397 “Super DAC” for conversion of both the DSD and PCM signals. An audiophile grade, high performance clock prevents jitter and signal distortion for grain free analog warmth. Marantz’ legendary HDAM output stage yields the most dynamic, accurate and musical sonic signature. This 30 pound behemoth is built like a tank, comes with a three-year parts and labor warranty and is guaranteed to breathe new life into your entire CD collection. But wait until you hear it when you place an SACD into its tray…Wow!

The cabinet is built in the new Marantz premium design without any visible screws, a heavy double layer chassis and a slightly blue illuminated front. The low noise LCD display shows information in a “cool blue” color. The quick and reliable, custom transport mechanism has a black surface to prevent any refraction of the laser, greatly reducing jitter. For further sound improvements the D/A converter will utilize a high precision system clock to prevent any distortion from jitter. The output stage is built on Marantz’ proprietary current feedback topology with their “analog-like” HDAM modules offering a high bandwidth, incredible dynamics and a warm, natural tonality for pure audiophile playback regardless the format. Enjoy the extraordinary sound quality from the exquisite Marantz SA-15 in your home. If you are not satisfied that this is the best sounding digital player for under $2000…we’ll take it back!
