General:

The Marantz SACD 10 is the flagship player in Marantz’s CD/SACD lineup. With an MSRP of $14,000, it reflects Marantz’s use of premium components and meticulous build quality, all manufactured in Japan. This factory-refurbished B-Stock unit is offered at a $2,000 savings off the original MSRP.

Everything about the SACD 10 feels exceptionally solid and purpose-built, with craftsmanship clearly intended to last for decades. It’s an ideal choice for the serious CD and SACD enthusiast. The player can also function as a standalone DAC, featuring optical, coaxial, and USB inputs for connecting external digital sources.

Key features include a bright, easy-to-read OLED display, dual power supplies for reduced interference, and Marantz’s proprietary SACDM-3 transport mechanism.

This unit includes a one-year Marantz factory warranty and comes complete with all original accessories: the remote control, power cord, and original packaging. The official owner’s manual is available for download via the link provided in this listing.

Testing Process:
We start with a visual inspection of all internal components to make sure that there are no signs of heat stress or damage. Capacitors are checked for telltale signs of predictive failure including bulging, shrunken wrappers, or physical leakage. We also inspect resistors and other passive components for signs of overheating. When the unit is first powered on we check the drawer mechanism function.

After the visual inspection we connect the CD Player RCA outputs to our Sencore PA81 Power Analyzer which simulates a real world input impedance and allows us to monitor the output on an oscilloscope. We start with a test CD with precision test signals to verify proper output on both channels. If the CD player has balanced outputs these are also tested at this time.

If this check passes, we move onto evaluation with actual music CDs. We listen for clicks, skips, and drops during playback. At this time we also check the transport functions including Play, Pause, Stop, Repeat Track, Next Track, Previous Track, Fast Forward, Rewind, and programming if applicable. If the unit has a remote control, all remote control functions are verified.

If the CD player is capable of SACD playback we test its ability to read SACD layers on multiple discs including standard and hybrid SACD's. At this time we also check the unit’s digital outputs where applicable. If SACD layers are being properly read we should see the digital outputs mute during playback. On redbook CD playback we verify that each digital output maintains proper lock on our bench DAC.

After bench testing is completed, CD players are set up for testing on our long term test rig. During extended testing we make sure that unit can play through several different discs from beginning to end with no skips or lockups.
