Marantz SA10 sacd player

The connections on the rear of the SA-10 for digital inputs are optical (Toslink), coaxial (SPDIF), USB, and for IPOD.

In the event that the SACD laser becomes non-functional the player still retains DAC functionality for the above inputs. The only above input that accept DSD is the USB input connection. The player remains fairly functional.

However, the reason for having the player is generally to play sacd discs.

Yes, @sharri  , the reason I bought it was to hear the full sonic attributes of SACD and to also play my red book discs.  You are right--if I did not want to play SACD I would not have bought it.

Immatthew it’s worth buying traverse optic lens back up , the SA 10 is good on red book, it’s an amazing sacd player.Encompass has them.

@jayctoy  , I just got through going to that lin@sharri  provided and ordering the assembly from encompass.  Hopefully I will never need it, but it is kind of like insurance, I guess, that if I can find someone to install it, at least I will have the part.  Thanks @sharri and @jayctoy  .

Good choice Matthew SA 10 without sacd it is tough to swallow.Though the redbook is excellent.TVAD I brought my SA10 to stereo rehab today. Casper explain to me what need to be changed.He is legit. Charging me between $230 to $250. Very fair.
