Marantz
SACD 14 |
| |
Customer
has got this player to replace his Esoteric DV50.
This SACD14 is a real beauty.
It has the same drive as the SA1, same clock and the difference
lies in the DAC used. Customer
wants to go for Clock installation, analog stage mods to the balanced
output and dedicated transformer for analog section.
No problem.

analog output stage. The
balanced output is real an afterthought, which uses cheap opamps
and lousy output caps. It
inverts the single ended output for balanced output.
The single ended output is still better.
After mod, the opamp is change to AS8066 and output Caps
are changed to blackgates (customer is using full balanced system) |
