Description
This is one of the best SACD players you can buy.I opened this unit and check all the gears and tracks and everything is fine. Overall good condition. Couple of scratches on the top panel. Original remote control Door jumps a little bit when it opens but it never gets stuck. Beautiful sound. I dont have the original box but I will be using a foam machine for packing. The next part is one of the reviews I found. In the mid-1990s, the SACD (Super Audio CD) was hyped as the replacement for the 16-bit CD — with its high-resolution, Direct Stream Digital (DSD) 2.8 MHz sampling/1-bit technology. The new audio encoding/decoding scheme had several advantages over 16-bit PCM: theoretical 100 kHz frequency response, increased dynamic range and significantly lower overall noise than CD. Fast forward 10 or more years, and the scenario is less rosy. Sony, the prime proponent and co-developer of SACD, has all but stepped away from major SACD release initiatives on software and just a few players remain in their lineup. SACD fans have to thank various small labels and other electronics manufacturers, such as Marantz, Denon and a handful of audiophile high-enders, for sticking with the format. As a high-resolution audio enthusiast, I am glad that Marantz offers the Marantz SA8003, a quality audiophile SACD/CD player that sits in the $1,000 price range. It offers enough audiophile features and performance to satisfy the purists, but is not so overpriced that aspiring high-res buffs, or someone who wants a nice CD player, won’t be intimidated. Features The Marantz SA8003 is a basic SACD/CD player with a few modern bells and whistles, including USB connection for iPod, and WMA and MP3 disc playback. It sports a toroidal power supply, audiophile-grade capacitors and resistors that are also used in Marantz’s high-end SACD players. The SA8003 plays only stereo SACD layers, not multichannel 5.1 channels found on some discs. The heavy-duty, dual-layer chassis and outer cabinet weigh in at 17 pounds. On the front panel, the SA8003 is cleanly laid out with a minimalist array of front panel buttons — just the way I like my audiophile players. Buttons include power, play, pause, track advance, track back, disk tray open/close, headphone amp volume, headphone jack and disc media/USB mode button. The USB port is smartly located on the front panel, as is the headphone amp. There are numerous front panel lights and indicators for CD, SACD, MP3/WMA, USB input, track, time, digital output/on or off. The remote duplicates the essential functions, but adds more functionality with random play, program modes, digital output on/off, display on/off, and text on/off for iPod or WMA discs. Curiously, the Marantz does not support the static or scrolling text function of SACD. Hmm. The back panel includes audiophile RCA jacks, external remote control jacks for linking of other Marantz products and digital audio output jacks — SPDIF optical or RCA coax. The beefy analog output jacks are nicely spaced to accommodate the better, sometimes larger, audiophile cables. AI description....
