Marantz SA10 sacd player


I love this  player , after 3 yrs and 2 months I purchase it. It doesn’t read single layer sacd. It’s out of waaranty.So United Radio marantz authorize won’t repair it. Is this a common issue on this expensive sacd player?

I hate to send this machine to a repair shop. I might just be happy playing cd.Even on non sacd it sound amazing with me turning the headphone volume off, dither off ,and using filter 2, and input multi. The sound is more open and more air,tonal balance still the same.

@jayctoy I have posted a lot about how good the D.Bob is. I have used it with the Benchmark DAC3B and the Schitt Yggi+ LIM DACs via the HDMI output from a $200 used Oppo. I got this unit after my amazing modded Sony SCD-1 died after 20+ years.

The D.Bob was better in some ways, but the Sony was a classic and better in others.  I have no intention of getting another SACD player because the D.Bob sounds great on DSD and PCM.

Yes, I will send you a few Repair shop locations in a few days.

Stay tuned.

 

Happy Listening!

 I second the earlier recommendation of George Meyer. I picked up a used PM-KI Pearl from him and it was, and remains, flawless and exactly as advertised.
