Inspired by ideas that came to light during the development process of the extraordinary PM-10 and SA-KI Ruby digital players, the SA-12 Special Edition stands out first of all for mounting the SACDM-3, a transport mechanism created by Marantz Exclusively for audio applications that can read SACD discs, CDs and CD-ROM or DVD-ROM music compilations. It also includes an asynchronous USB input capable of handling such demanding file formats as 32-bit/384 kHz PCM/DXD and 11.2 MHZ DSD (DSD256), giving it additional appeal in terms of concept and a Extraordinary plus versatility. For its part, the revolutionary Marantz Musical Mastering Stream transforms all PCM files to DSD using an extremely innovative filtering and processing scheme. The unique Marantz Musical Mastering Stream circuitry then directly converts the monobit data stream into an analog signal without the need for a conventional D/A converter. The result is an absolutely refined digital player, which perfectly complements the PM-12 SE stereo integrated amplifier, to form a unique Hi-Fi tandem.
