I am selling my Marantz SA-10 Marantz SA-10 SACD Player /DAC Reference Series in Champagne Gold. The unit was unplugged from my main system. it is in prestine condition without blemish. The only other unit (Champagne Gold) available for sale is currently advertised on ebay US for $14,200.I purchased mine frtransfor. To my knowledge Champagne Gold versions of Marantz Series units are only sold in Japan. It is a 100V unit that requires a Step-down transformer (not included). I used it with the utmost care to play my SACD collection and as a DAC. It is truly the best SACD player DAC that I have ever owned. I am onlu selling it because I am moving to another country and I can't take it in my luggages.Pick up in Montreal, I can also ship with custom double boxed packaging.Thank you for your interest.
The asking price of US$6,421 for this used Marantz SA-10 is fair, sitting just above the median of US$6,300 derived from your recent comparable listings. It remains well below the 75th percentile of US$6,360 and is not ambitious, offering a solid entry point into this reference-tier gear without the premium of a new unit priced near US$7,499.
This player is widely regarded as one of the best-sounding and best-built SACD/CD players and DACs in its class, excelling in disc playback and high-resolution digital conversion. Its ability to handle DSD up to 11.2MHz and act as a top-tier USB DAC provides meaningful upside for modern setups. At this fair price, a clean listing represents a genuine buying opportunity for enthusiasts seeking reference performance without the new-in-box cost.

Marantz originated in the United States, founded in 1953 by Saul Bernard Marantz, a music enthusiast and amateur musician born in Brooklyn in 1911. Dissatisfied with the audio equipment of the era, he crafted the groundbreaking Audio Consolette preamplifier in 1952 from his New York home, selling the first 100 units rapidly and prompting the formal establishment of the company in Woodside, Queens. Though production later shifted to Japan in partnership with manufacturers like Standard Radio in 1966, and the brand evolved through ownership changes including Superscope and eventual integration into larger groups, its heritage remains rooted in American ingenuity and a relentless pursuit of musical fidelity.
The brand excels in high-end audio components, particularly amplifiers, preamplifiers, and integrated systems that defined its golden era. Iconic models like the Model 7 preamplifier (1958), Model 9 power amplifier (1960), and Model 10B tuner (1964) set benchmarks for performance, while later offerings expanded to tuners, receivers, and CD players. Marantz briefly ventured into speakers under designer Ed May in the 1970s but focused primarily on electronics rather than turntables, headphones, DACs, or cables, emphasizing separates renowned for their "Most Musical Sound."
Marantz commands a premium position in the hi-fi market, revered as a high-end pioneer that shaped the audiophile landscape through the 1970s zenith. Today, it blends vintage allure with modern elegance, appealing to discerning buyers who value durability, innovation, and warm, detailed sound signatures over mass-market accessibility.
