Marantz SA10 sacd player

I would follow what the SA-10 manual states regarding this issue.

Thanks for getting back to me on this, @sharri ,

so is that way you interpret what I quoted from the SA10 model?  To invert the phase on the SA10 unless connected to a preamp that is utilizing the "European system"?

Just a quick follow up:  another member ( @stereo-one ) on another thread did the research that I should have been able to do on my own (except that I wasn't thorough enough) and my preamp (Cary SLP 05) is indeed wired with pin 2 hot (of the balanced connections) so therefore it is wired the same as the SA10 (the European system" of balanced connection) and therefore I was incorrect in my thinking that to have the phase correct from my CDP to my pre I should have the phase selector on the CDP set to "inverted."  I have switched it back to "normal."  

Anyone still enjoying the SA-11s3 in 2025?  Or, did everyone upgrade to the Ruby and/or SA-10 players?

Happy Listening!

I have one (a 11s3) and use it infrequently. I find the bass response to be somewhat fulsome, and it bleeds into the upper bass and lower mid range. I bought it because it was SACD but, frankly, I really haven't found the SACD format all that superior to normal CD. I now use DACs and separate transports for most of my stuff. But, FWIW, it's never broken down or given me a problem.
