Marantz SA10 sacd player

. . . hmmmm . . . well, after doing some searches, as related to that question I just asked @sharri  , I am getting that (mostly) that (probably) cannot be done.  Someone did post a link  at the end of the discussion I am about to paste a link for about a (possible) solution, but when I click on that link, I get nothing.

Iamatthewj I believe. You can’t use it as a sacd transsport. Only as DAc redbook.You can’t even use DbobwGeerfab either it has no HDMI .

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.
