Marantz SA8003

Developed by audio wizard Ken Ishiwata, the SA8003 delivers audiophile-grade performance.

This performance is no accident, but rather the result of electronic and mechanical engineering, such as the copper chassis, HDAM output stages, and low-noise playback mechanism.

The SA8003 is a modern product, featuring a front USB input for playing MP3 or WMA files, and even controlling an iPod!
