The Marantz SACD10 Reference SACD Player is built with a heavy triple-layer aluminum chassis and a solid multi-compartment form factor designed to extract every nuance from your favourite recordings. By combining rigid metal construction with dense copper shielding, this flagship component from the Marantz Reference Series isolates delicate internal circuitry from mechanical and electrical vibrations, allowing optical CD Players to retrieve disc data with absolute clarity and warmth.Pure Disc Playback Without Mechanical Noise:At the heart of the Marantz SACD 10 is the dedicated SACDM-3 disc transport mechanism, engineered in-house to stabilise spinning discs and absorb unwanted physical resonance. This smooth optical drive ensures that both standard compact discs and high-resolution Super Audio CDs are read smoothly with minimal error correction, letting you experience your physical music collection with expansive dynamics and deep musical presence.Natural Sound From Modern Digital Audio:Instead of using standard off-the-shelf conversion chips, the Marantz SACD 10 utilises proprietary Marantz Musical Mastering direct stream processing alongside discrete HDAM analogue modules. This custom circuitry converts high-resolution digital streams into an organic, liquid musical presentation without harsh digital artefacts. An asynchronous USB-B DAC input allows you to stream studio-quality high-resolution PCM and DSD files directly from a computer or digital streamer with lifelike realism.Flexible Connectivity For High-End Systems:Integrating seamlessly into reference-level audio systems, the Marantz SACD 10 offers both balanced XLR and gold-plated single-ended RCA analogue outputs to deliver low-noise signal transfer straight to your preamplifier or integrated amplifier. A dedicated front-panel headphone stage powered by discrete HDAM circuitry delivers a personal listening session with the same depth and spatial dimension found across full loudspeaker setups.Authorized Dealer:We are an authorized dealer for Marantz.
