Overview
Specifications
Although the SA-KI Pearl Lite is a brand new member of the KI Pearl family, it is also proven. That’s because it utilises the technology and the experience gained from the development of the highly-acclaimed Premium Range’s SA-KI Pearl. Which makes it a perfect no-compromise player for CDs, SACDs and even USB devices with MP3, WMA and iPod/iPhone files. In addition, this bright little protégé can also be directly connected to your PC without a network set-up. Thanks to its B-type USB input on the rear panel, the PC will recognise it as an “audio card”. In addition, the optical and coaxial digital inputs mean you can use it as an external DAC too. All these connectivity options make the SA-KI Pearl Lite very convenient, but convenience is just the start. All these different sources use the same excellent audio processing, so all your music will radiate the same intense lustre and inner glow of a perfect pearl.
Copper Plated Chassis
A copper plated chassis provides the best shielding against noise or electromagnetic distortion radiating from other components in the equipment. It prevents this noise from being amplified together with the audio signal. And even more important, it gives equal low impedance ground level to every point of the chassis, keeping the ground potential as clean as possible.
Customized Components
On paper an electrical component might look excellent but the result may fall short of the combined design expectations. Marantz selects the appropriate components for the specific design application. In some cases it’s simply not possible to use standard components that meet the high Marantz standards. These components will then be specially made for Marantz in close cooperation with the Marantz engineers.
DAC Mode
With the DAC mode we describe the operation of the product as an external Digital to Analogue Converter (DAC). You can connect via optical / coaxial digital inputs or the USB type B input sources such as such as an external CD drive, digital tape, music server, PC or network client. These sources can make use of the high quality D/A converter and the analogue output stage equipped with HDAM modules to enrich the sound quality. Please check USB Type B describtion as well.
HDAM SA2
Marantz developed its own discrete circuit boards to replace standard IC's. These HDAM's consists of discrete surface mount components with short mirror image L/R signal paths. Those devices are doing exactly the same thing as the Op-Amps, but outperform the regular IC Op-amps dramatically in terms of the Slew Rate and reduced noise level, resulting in a much more dynamic, accurate and detailed sound. Over the years Marantz developed different types of the HDAM to improve quality and to fit to the special requirements of a product category like CD or amplifier.
Super Audio CD
Super Audio CD (SA-CD) is an established music format that provides a more natural, ultra-high quality sound. It offers a smooth migration path to a higher quality sound, as all existing CDs can be played on the SA-CD player. SA-CD is based on the Direct Stream Digital (DSD) technology, which uses 1 bit delta-sigma modulation and a sampling frequency that is 64 times higher than that of the CD. This enables the SA-CD to offer a frequency range up to 100KHz and a dynamic range of 120dB.
Toroidal Transformer
Toroidal transformer has several advantages over a normal EI core transformer. It is very efficient and therefore delivers more power compared to the same size of an EI core transformer. In addition, due to its shape, the electromagnetic radiation and the mechanical vibration are extremely low all ending in a better sound quality.
Works with iPhone / made for iPod
‘Made for iPod’ and "Works with iPhone" means that an electronic accessory has been designed specifically to connect to iPod and has been certified to meet the Apple performance standards. Current Marantz products carrying the 'Made for iPod' logo are compatible with the following iPod models: 4th Generation iPod or higher, iPod Classic, iPod Nano (1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th generation), iPod video and iPod Touch. For 5th Generation iPod, iPod Nano or iPod Touch the audio transmission is digital. The "Works with iPhone" adds the iPhone to the list.
XYRON
XYRON® (PBO fibre) is the next generation super fibre which decreases the vibration and resonances of a disc dramatically, increasing the quality of the outputted audio quality. Developed by Ashahi Chemical Japan, the fibre possesses High Rigidity with High Internal Losses, ideal material for CD or DVD mechanisms
