Uncompromising Construction and Design The Marantz SA-14 Super Audio CD Player utilizes solid alloy construction and a double layer steel bottom plate to dampen internal vibration and mechanically induced jitter. Along with alloy chassis panels and special shock-absorbent mounting feet, it achieves ultra-stable playback for a high-end performance. Internally, the SA-14 shines with extensive use of copper- shielding, bracing and a full floating laser mechanism with a die cast metal alloy housing and disc tray. Its precision-disc mechanism provides stable, glitch-free playback along with fast disc access. The impressive front panel is ergonomically designed with a distinctive round center window display, which can be turned on/off depending on personal preference. Audiophile-Grade Components Built to the highest standards, the SA-14 features extensive use of unique hand-selected internal components, like dual Crystal ® semiconductor D/A converters, premium capacitors and a copper shielded super-ring toroidal main power transformer. The front panel FL display utilizes its own separate power transformer to totally isolate noise from the SA-14s internal circuitry. Direct Stream Digital (DSD) The SA-14 SACD player employs DSD technology to achieve an astonishing level of sonic accuracy. DSD ensures the highest quality in digital to analog conversion. The digital information is directly converted to analog information, without interference of digital filtering. It maximizes the benefits of two-channel ultra- high resolution SACD digital audio. With a sampling rate of 2.8224 mHz, the SACD format can deliver a frequency response from DC to 100,000 Hz and a dynamic range of 113 dB. High Definition Amplifier Module (HDAM) Uniquely developed by Marantz, the SA-14 houses two copper- shielded, fully discrete HDAM output stages with low noise independent components and short signal paths. Placed in a dual- differential configuration, they result in an extremely fast slew rate and exceptional dynamic range. They preserve the dynamic structure of music so that even vulnerable high frequencies are translated accurately, creating and an effortlessly dynamic sound that's both expressive and detailed. Convenience Together with a full-function brushed aluminum remote control, this state-of-the-art Marantz product comes with a number of sensible convenience features like programming, play modes and SACD/CD/CD-R/CD-RW/DTS Audio playback. The SA-14 is equipped with balanced (XLR) outputs to reduce the risk of disturbance in the signal transportation from source to amplification (if connected to balanced inputs). Furthermore, optical and digital outputs are included for flexible playback and recording ability.
