Overview
Specifications
This stereo SACD and CD player underlines the Marantz heritage for high-quality two channel audio reproduction. It faithfully reproduces a wide sound stage with no extra or missing information, thanks to the faster, low-noise and lower impedance symmetrical circuits with high-quality components. The loading mechanism is made from a new material called Xyron, which is very rigid and therefore virtually eliminates resonance, while its reduced distortion spectrum gets the very best of audio quality from SACDs. It can even replay compressed audio formats such as MP3 and WMA in high-quality. The headphone amplifier and gold-plated outputs complete this beautiful player. In total, the SA7003 expresses the Marantz dedication to the purest reproduction of musical emotion. Enjoy
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.
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.
MP3
MP3 is a lossy compression algorithm is designed to greatly reduce the amount of data required to represent the audio recording and still sound like a faithful reproduction of the original uncompressed audio for most listeners. An MP3 file that is created using the setting of 128 kbit/s will result in a file that is about 11 times smaller than the CD file created from the original audio source.
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.
Symmetrical Circuit Layout
To achieve the best possible sonic performance, signal paths need to be short, direct and mirror imaged. The construction of our circuitry provides improved stereo imaging by ensuring close to perfect symmetry between right and left channel layout.
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.
