In Reply to: RE: SONY SCD-XA5400ES vs Marantz SA11S3 posted by RIQUE on December 17, 2016 at 07:09:06
You might want to wait for the Marantz SA10 which is coming out in a few months. It is supposed to be a completely new design, replacing the SA11, but will be much more expensive. I recently bought a Maantz SA14, with which I am quite pleased. (I decided against the SA11 because people were unclear about its DSD capabilities when used as a USB DAC.)
I am especially happy with the SACD performance of the SA14, but it is the only SACD player I have ever heard.

Actually it replaces the SA-7. The SA-10 is twice the price of the SA-11S3 which remains in the catalogue (here in the UK).
There is the Sony ES "house" sound, then, there is the Marantz "house" sound. Demo prior to any purchase.
The SA10 will replace the SA7.
The SA-11S3 is a different creature for a different customer.
I have the SA11S3 and really like it. I would love to hear the SA 10, but it's twice the price. The SA-11S3 has the Marantz house sound, that some people like and others don't. I like it. It sounds good with SACDs and more importantly, with CDs. Also, it has balanced outputs which is very important to me. I haven't heard the Sony, so I cannot really comment on it.
