Marantz SA-7S1 Reviews

In the escalating product race between Denon and Marantz, both companies have introduced a range of high-grade disc players and amplifiers that have helped to push the boundaries of what's commonly referred to as 'state-of-the-art' in the world of hi-fi

Not just state of the art, but also remarkably easy on the ear, The finest player we have heard in a long while, Makes high-class disc replay sound almost too easy

Costs an arm and a leg

Stunning player aimed at the serious audiophile community, that offers remarkably transparent sound in the very specific sense that it is virtually impossible to hear it working. CD replay often approaches the quality of SACD

Detailed, refined but a little too polite to firmly dislodge any fillings

A great SACD/CD player, but give it a proper listen or you won�€™t realise what all the fuss is about

It has a refined, informative and natural presentation; excellent build and finish

Understated sound might not appeal on a short listen

The Marantz Sa-7S1 is one of the most musically satisfying red-book cd players that I have owned, wait you say it is a SACD player also, we will get to that in a moment.
