Marantz SA-14S1SE black

The launch of new Marantz Premium products is always an occasion for audiophiles to rejoice. And the new 14 Series Special Edition takes you to new levels of audio pleasure. This edition has been tuned and optimized with love and passion for high-resolution files, marking the beginning of a new era in musical passion. The SA-14S1 Special Edition features a 5mm aluminum reinforcement and an exceptionally rigid chassis to minimize vibrations, as well as an oversized toroidal transformer and a powerful power supply section that generates the purest power to avoid cross-contamination between components.

This platform is the perfect benchmark for sound quality. It incorporates a DAC mode virtually identical in functionality to the revolutionary, award-winning NA-11S1. It features an optical digital input and a coaxial digital input, as well as a USB-B port for direct connection to a PC. It is therefore able to ensure high-definition audio streaming from your computer: you benefit from the high-quality audio/digital converter and excellent audio output thanks to its HDAM-SA2 modules. This is why our engineers have strived to integrate our latest ground/signal isolation technology into this new player, which virtually eliminates all noise from computers.

The SA-14S1 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. It even features a front USB input for playing MP3, WAV and AAC formats, and of course, it is compatible with your iPod/iPhone. It embodies Super Audio CD quality at its peak. And much more.
