In Reply to: How good is the Marantz SA11-S1? posted by WBWB on November 27, 2005 at 21:25:55:
It's really nice. I have auditioned it but there was nothing else available in its price class where i live, so i can't compare it. I wouldn't hesitate to buy it if i had the money.

Hi Frihed89,
I am currently using a Orpheus Zero CD Player on loan from someone I know. Even at half the price, the Orpheus is still more expensive than a brand new Marantz SA11-S1. What's more, the Marantz plays SACD, but not the Orpheus. (Currently I own zero SACD software, so it's not an issue here. ;-)The Orpheus is really a damn good CD player, the best I have heard so far. I wonder if the Marantz is able to match up with it in the redbook performance, or at least at 95% of the Orpheus' performance.
Cheers!
I've never even heard of an Orpheus. I have used the Marantz a couple of times to demo speakers and then headphones and headphone amp at my local Audionote dealer. I prefer it to the old Dac 1.1 models because it is more neutral and just as engaging musically as the Audionote. If i were upgrading, which i am not, i think i would pick either the Marantz or the yet to be released Audionote DAC + transport combo ($4950) - on the strength of the separates.
