Once again, Marantz engineers have used the successful technologies of the Reference Series to create an equivalent in the Premium Range. This time technologies from the SA-7S1 have been applied to create the new SA-11S2. Most notably, the latest digital filtering parameters are now used to create reference-quality playback – making standard CDs sound like SA-CDs. The new die-cast mechanism is also derived from the SA-7S1, to guarantee crystal-clear data readout.

While the 5 mm thick aluminium top lid and aluminium die-cast feet add reference-quality stability. Marantz engineers also added the digital phase inversion and the external clock input, providing additional fine-tuning and upgrade options. The result? Sustained signal integrity, original sound stage reproduction, unsurpassed rhythmic intensity, and a quality of dynamics and pace more usually associated with the recording studio.
