EISA Awards: Award-Winning Product
Each year, dozens of European journalists gather to select the best electronic products of the year. Awarded by a diverse and impartial jury, the EISA (Expert Imaging and Sound Association) awards recognize exceptional products for their performance, design, or ergonomics.
Overview
To design this superb SACD player, Marantz engineers reinvested all the experience gained during the development of the Premium range and added a good measure of versatility. It faithfully reproduces a wide soundstage thanks to its symmetrical circuits equipped with high-quality, low-noise, low-impedance components. The disc loading mechanism virtually eliminates all resonance, allowing the best of the high-quality audio of SACDs to be extracted.
And like the Premium SA-14S1 model, the SA8005 features a USB-B port for direct connection to your PC. It has an optical digital input and a coaxial input. You can therefore take advantage of the player’s high-quality audio/digital converter and excellent audio output thanks to its HDAM-SA2 modules. That’s why our engineers have strived to integrate our latest ground/signal isolation technology into this new player, which virtually eliminates all PC noise.
The SA8005 can thus replace your PC’s sound card, and its USB-B port works in asynchronous mode, compatible with both 192 kHz/24-bit modes, but also with 2.8 MHz and 5.6 MHz DSD, for increased versatility and performance. All your music will therefore radiate the same brilliance, the same energy, and extreme fidelity, regardless of its origin. Enjoy it!

User reviews
Alexandre
Very good CD player that produces excellent results when paired well.
Good dynamics, good airiness, nice analytical qualities, and beautiful finishes, as always with Marantz.
In terms of ergonomics, I find it quite ridiculous that there is no open/close button for the tray on the remote control, hence 4* instead of 5*.

Très bonne platine CD, qui bien associée donne un très bon résultat.
Bonne dynamique, bonne aération, belles qualités analytiques. et belles finitions, comme toujours avec Marantz.
En termes d'ergonomie, je trouve assez ridicule qu'il n'y ait pas de touche ouverture / fermeture du tiroir sur la télécommande d'où 4* et non 5*.

After a few months spent with this CD and SACD player, I can say that it makes you want to listen, or rather re-listen, to CDs. Although streaming is nice and convenient, playing CDs and SACDs remains a notch above with this type of player. It also buries my former high-end player (AYON CD7s) with the warmth and quality of the timbres it brings, especially when paired with a quality modulation cable. The only downside is the impractical remote control, where most of the buttons are dedicated to other devices in the MARANTZ range, making it a bit confusing to find the few buttons useful for this player. Jean-Paul
Pros: Superb player with sumptuous sound.
Cons: Multi-function remote control is impractical.

Après quelques mois passé en compagnie de ce lecteur CD et SACD, je peux dire qu'il donne envie d'écouter, plutôt même de réécouter des CDs ; Bien que le dématérialisé soit sympa et pratique, la lecture des CDs et SACD restent un cran au dessus avec ce genre de lecteur ; Il enterre aussi mon ancien lecteur Haut de gamme (AYON CD7s) par la chaleur et la qualité des timbres qu'il apporte, surtout en lui allouant un cable modulation de qualité. Seul bémol, la télécommande peu pratique, ou la majorité des touches étant dédiées aux autres appareils de la gamme MARANTZ, on se perd un peu dans les quelques touches utiles à ce lecteur. Jean-Paul
Les plus : superbe lecteur à l'écoute somptueuse.
Les moins : télécommande Multi-fonctions peu pratique.
