I have always been a fan of Marantz Reference CD players going back to the Marantz CD94 in the 1980's.
In the past 15 years I have also owned the Marantz Reference SA-1, SA-7, SA-11S3 sacd / cd players. All excellent players but the Marantz Reference SA-11S3 stands on top as the best natural sound and technology. Dead silent transport compared to the SA-1 & SA-7 and very eco friendly using less than 1W in standby. Many other state of the art features on the Marantz Reference SA-11S3. Just simply a great player.
