Marantz TT-15S1 Reference Series 2010 Catalog - Page 16

SA-15S2 Stereo Super Audio CD Player The SA-15S2 single disc Super Audio CD player carries the Reference Series tradition another step forward. The performance begins with a new power supply designed around a large, double-shielded toroid transformer. This makes sure that the SA-15S2 is free from magnetic interference and noise. A new mechanism with a Xyron disc tray reduces resonances so the digital circuitry processes more accurate data which, in turn, translates into more coherent and pleasing sound. Because the SA-15S2 handles MP3 and WMA encoded CD-R/-RWs too, every audio disc in your library will benefit from the new mechanism. We've optimized the new high bit/high speed microprocessors for both Super Audio CDs and CDs. And Marantz engineers took advantage of new capabilities to let you select digital filter characteristics that complement both your music selections and your tastes. In addition, the SA-15S2 provides a digital output to give you the option of using an outboard processor. If you opt for the player's analog circuitry, you can disable the digital output for even better signal purity. Configured with liberal use of both original and SA2 versions of Marantz's proprietary Hyper Dynamic Amplifier Module (HDAM®), the SA-15S2's analog section is far more than just a textbook example of fine design. If you have another PCM digital source and would like to take advantage of the SA-15S2's sound quality, there's an optical digital input that will connect your source to the SA-15S2's circuitry. Additional touches include solid copper "Zero Impedance" ground plates for low noise operation and superior channel separation, machined brass analog output terminals, and a high-current, discrete component headphone amplifier. The SA-15S2's front panel "Zero Noise" LCD display adds no radiation of its own to the audio signal. The SA-15S2's front panel exhibits traditional Marantz Reference standards. Finished in sophisticated champagne, it defines a décorfriendly design aesthetic. And, of course, the SA-15S2 is built for long-term accuracy and enjoyment. In both appearance and performance, it belongs in the finest music systems. Including yours. 12 "Music is the shorthand of emotion." - Leo Tolstoy, Novelist From digital to analog . . .
