SACD player Marantz SA-15S2

Description CD player Marantz SA-15S2

The Marantz SA-15S2 SACD/CD-Audio disc player has a very serious electronic filling, which allows it to perfectly cope with the playback of both High Definition recordings and traditional digital audio with parameters of 16 bit / 44.1 kHz.

A massive toroidal transformer with separate windings is installed in the player's power supply to power various electronic circuits. The transport mechanism in the Marantz SA-15S2 is proprietary, and is called the Marantz Xyron. It is placed in an aluminum housing to reduce mechanical vibrations and noise, as well as protect the drive itself from external influences. The transport mechanism is controlled by an electronic circuit tuned for optimal operation with both SACD and CD-Audio discs.

The digital-to-analogue converter of the player is built on the basis of a high-end Cirrus Logic CS4398 microcircuit, equipped with a set of digital filters with various characteristics. The analog part of the device is built on the basis of patented HDAM-SA2 amplifying modules, which are used in audio equipment, which are used in Marantz high-end audio equipment. In addition, the output circuitry of the Marantz SA-15S2 uses audiophile quality passive components. The built-in headphone amplifier is based on high-speed buffered operational amplifiers, and the sound quality is not inferior to expensive stand-alone models. The player circuitry is mounted according to the “dual mono” principle, which guarantees a good stereo image with accurate image placement.

The rear panel of the player has digital and optical outputs, an optical input that allows you to use the Marantz SA-15S2 as a high-quality digital-to-analog converter (digital input parameters can be 24 bit / 96 kHz). The analog output is represented by a pair of RCA-jacks placed at a great distance from each other so that interconnect cables with the largest plugs can be used to connect the player to the amplifier. The player's chassis has an additional shield to protect electronic circuits from external influences.
