New Marantz SA11S2?

interesting, I owned BPD83 SE and SA11S2.

For the price I felt BDP could not be beat, but I sold the BDP and kept the SA11S2.

From what I can tell, this player does not have a digital input right?

right, no digital input on SA11S2 I think SA15S2 does.
nor does BDP83

Mr. Tennis, I must say your comments are far from the reality I and others hear from the SA11. The unit has bloom, has warmth, and is hardly on the thin side. For those with a listening preference to a bloated, overly warm, highly colored sound, such a view might be theirs. Perhaps your system is

Even Michael Fremer, whom I disagree with, said the SA11 had warmth, had body.

In regards to the input discussion above, why would anyone want a digital input on this player? The transport is among the best sounding made, so why would you want to use the unit without the transport?

The only thing I could see one might want are the two digital outputs (to run a DAC) that the unit already has.

Please don't listen to what Mr Tennis says about this player. His previous posts pretty much tell me his hearing is very different than most here. I think you will find this to be very true if you search. It must be alien like...lol.

I do not have the S2 but have the S1 and love it. By far the best player I have owned and I am sure the S2 is better. How much I don't know but I would not hesitate to buy it.
