SA11S2 Reviews

Audio Video Revolution April 2010
The SA-11S2 was amazingly versatile, musical, and robust in its performance. It is Exhibit A against the argument that most high end audio products are over priced. I honestly cannot imagine someone taking this player home for an audition and not being impressed with its big sound, features, and overall level of performance. It performs beautifully on SACD and standard discs. The selectable digital filters allows you to tailor the sound to your liking, plus the added options of Noise Shaping and the ability to turnoff the digital output for optimum performance is pretty unique.

TechRadar.com Feb 2008
The CD/SACD player is a remarkably well balanced component... we would describe the disc player as particularly impressive. There is the same slightly relaxed gracefulness and the reassuring feeling that CD sound quality is almost on a par with that of SACD. It always manages to sound supremely poised and performs the difficult trick of coping with musical gear changes seamlessly.
