The Marantz SA8003 serves up audiophile quality performance from high-resolution Super Audio CDs. Featuring precision craftsmanship and carefully selected internal components, it delivers smooth, densely layered sound with outstanding stereo separation and spot-on imaging. This player also breathes new life into your CD collection by revealing subtle nuances that you may never have noticed.
The SA8003's specially designed disc transport, double-layered bottom chassis, and reinforced front panel resist vibrations that can adversely affect performance. A hefty power supply delivers clean current for lively, low-noise playback. High-end digital-to-analog converters accurately reproduce audio tracks with amazing clarity and detail. The gold-plated, machined brass outputs help maintain this player's high-quality sound by ensuring the best signal transfer to your stereo system, and are widely spaced so they won't cramp the connectors on high-quality interconnects.
Marantz also outfitted the SA8003 with a USB port a feature rarely seen on SACD/CD players. This lets you plug in an iPod® or thumb drive, and take advantage of this player's high-end digital-to-analog converters for the best possible sound from your digital music library.
