The Limited is infused with audiophile-grade components, re-voiced for greater speed and harmonic balance, and boasts a gorgeous, black anodized aluminum enclosure. A Marantz designed, linear power supply anchors this premium com- ponent with an outsized torroidal transformer to provide the voltage stability and freedom from noise that are necessary for the very best audio performance. An advanced transport mechanism employs resonance- resistant Xyron (composite) components and is mounted to a heavyweight aluminum billet base. The SA- 15S2 Limited utilizes the superb Cirrus Logic CS4398 high-current DAC with 24-bit/192 kHz resolution for music reproduction with the speed and immediacy of a live performance; selectable interpolation filters al- low for a slight tailoring of the response to suit individual systems, while an optical input allows for the use of external digital sources. Special audiophile-grade decoupling capacitors help deliver crisp, clean power to these all-important DAC stages for enhanced transparency and a jet-black background. HDAM SA2 mod- ules are utilized throughout the analog output stage for wide dynamic range and the best possible fidelity. Audiophile-grade copper foil film capacitors and metallic film resistors are employed at critical points in the topology to further enhance performance.
