The SA7S1 Super Audio CD Player launches integration to new heights of stunning, reference-quality excellence.
Perfect harmony with the other sections of this integrated player is ensured by Marantz's highly advanced digital filter techniques. The result is the most detailed and dynamic reproduction ever heard.
In addition, and unique to Marantz, is the full separation of digital and analogue sections; not only separating the digital and analogue power supplies, but separating them at ground level as well - thanks to the new GMR (Giant Magneto Resistor) technology - totally avoiding any influence of digital on the sensitive analogue whatsoever.
Further options are external clock input and digital phase inverting. And because the whole unit is as solid as a rock - with a metal tray disc mechanism, copper-shielded chassis, high-grade power supply and best-in-class components - this player represents absolute uncompromising quality, designed, engineered and created for the uncompromising ear.
- Reference Series Audiophile Super Audio CD (stereo) and CD DA player
- High grade DSP technology for Marantz exclusive digital filtering options
- Marantz own filter characteristic for the finest audio possible
- Linear Music Filter, Short Filter and Standard FIR Filter with >50dB stopband attenuation

- High quality audio digital to analogue converter SM5866A x2
- Grounding for digital and analogue section fully separated by GMR (Giant Magneto Resistor) technology
- Low Jitter internal clock system External clock input and digital phase inverter
- Fully balanced signal handling with dedicated digital to analogue converters in differential mode
- Super Ring transformer for stabile power delivery

Marantz SA7S1 Super Audio CD Player Reviews & Awards
The Absolute Sound
2010 Editor's Choice Awards - DISC PLAYERS Best Gear in Class $5,000-$10,000
"this elegant and superbly built CD/SACD player has a Wonderfully smooth and extraordinarily detailed sound that puts it among the top echelon of CD and SACD playback devices."
Home Entertainment
"To an audiophile's ear, this is heaven. Each musical element was distinct and clearly separated from the others" - Gary Altunian
Secrets of Home Theater and High Fidelity July 2009
"The bottom line on my listening tests is that the SA-7S1 is sinfully smooth. It's like the difference between satin and cotton sheets. The Marantz SA-7S1 is the smoothest sounding SACD player I have ever heard. Part of this is due to the choice of filters, but mostly, it is because of the vanishingly low distortion that the unit produces." - John E. Johnson, Jr
Audiophilia April 2008 - awarded The Audiophilia Star Component Award
"The Marantz SA 7S1 is clearly one of the finest one box units on the planet and one that this reviewer will make his new digital reference. Perfect sound forever, it keeps getting better." - Martin Appel
What Hi-Fi? Sep 2007
"A great SACD/CD player, but give it a proper listen or you won’t realise what all the fuss is about", rewarding the Marantz SA-7S1 with 5 out of 5 stars.
