How do people feel the Marantz SA-1 is holding up against some of the newer SACD and redbook players? I am particularly interested in comparison with the SA-11s1. Thanks.
Recently upgraded to a SA11s1 from a Sony DVP-S9000ES (DVD SACD) + Ultralink 2 combo... Redbook is terrific and SACD is first rate as well. especially fed by a PS Audio P500 regenerator.
Not sure if you thought my post was useless :) but there are people who come on here who claim the SA 1 is better than anything-even a TRL modded SA14 (which you are familiar with). Others think it was overpriced and over engineered for the end sound you get. I have no idea. Ask Paul at TRL-he may have had one come through the shop. I see you are onto something else. Let us know how it works out.
I have only tried mine with RCA's. A number of SA-1 owners tell me that I need to try mine with the XLR connections because they are far superior. I will try this over the weekend. Bob
