SA7003 Super Audio CD Player

This stereo SACD and CD player underlines the Marantz heritage for high quality two channel audio reproduction. It faithfully reproduces a wide sound stage with no extra or missing information, thanks to the faster, low-noise and lower impedance symmetrical circuits with high quality parts. The loading mechanism is made from a new material called Xyron, which has very high rigidity and resonance-damping characteristics. Its reduced distortion spectrum enables you to listen to SACDs with the sonic excellence you’ve come to expect from this player. It can even replay compressed audio formats such as MP3 and WMA in high quality. The headphone amplifier and gold-plated outputs complete this beautiful player. In total, the SA7003 expresses the Marantz dedication to the purest reproduction of musical emotion.
