The stereo Super Audio CD and CD player SA7003 underlines Marantz’s heritage of high-quality two-channel audio reproduction. For playback that captures musical nuance and reproduces a wide sound stage – with no extra, or missing, information – Marantz has applied its extensive expertise in making faster, low-noise and lower impedance symmetric circuits with high-quality parts. The loading mechanism is made of a new material called ZYLON, the high rigidity of which improves resonance and reduces vibration, contributing to unparalleled audio sound quality (Reduced Mechanical Inter Modulation Distortions). This enables you to listen to Super Audio CDs providing sonic excellence you’ve come to expect from this Super Audio CD player. It can even replay compressed audio formats such as MP3 and WMA in high-fidelity quality. A high-quality headphone amplifier and gold-plated outputs complete this beautiful player. The SA7003 expresses the Marantz dedication to the purest reproduction of musical emotion!
