Marantz SA-11 s2 SACD Player I bought this after trying one of Marantz's entry level SACD players (the PM series) and was wowed by the difference. In comparison, it had more bass, more body, just made SACDs stand out that little bit more. It's also a very competent CD player and has several filters you can employ in both CD & SACD mode to suit your tastes. Functionally there are no issues whatsoever, it works perfectly. Cosmetically there are some dings in the top right corner of the front face, only noticeable close up though (from the sitting position I don't notice it at all). Selling to fu
The Marantz SA-11S2 is a revered flagship SACD/CD player that defined the brand’s top-tier analog and digital playback in its era. At A$1,999, this listing is a strong bargain: it sits well below the 25th percentile (A$2,169) of recent AUD comparables, and the median asks A$2,190. You’re paying roughly A$191 less than the bottom quartile of the market, making this an excellent entry into a gold-standard disc player.
This unit delivers the warm, musical Marantz sound with exceptional SACD transparency and a robust, low-noise transport. As a former flagship, it offers superior build quality and DAC performance that still competes today. If the condition is clean and the remote is included, this is a clear buying opportunity—no caveats needed at this price. Grab it before someone else spots the value.

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.
