In Reply to: New Marantz SA11S1 vs SA14 ver1 or ver2 posted by saywhat on December 28, 2004 at 19:13:54:
I have owned the SA-11 for several weeks and, in my system, it is an extraordinary performer -- especially for its price -- on both CD and SACD. It may not be as a good as a high quality vinyl system, but I have never heard digital that is. I have had recent and extnesive experience with the Marantz 8260, Sony SCD-1, Sony XA-9000, Meridian G08, Bel Canto DAC-2 and Audio Logic 2400. I liked all of these units, but the Marantz is much better than most of them -- although I would like to have the Audio Logic with proper cables and tubes as a redbook DAC and use the SA-11 as a transport, the SA-11 doesnt give up a lot to the A.L.
