What settings for a Marantz SA-10?


I've settled on filter one for most CDs. But its a virtual toss up on dither and music shaper options. Who has a keen set of ears and has invested the time to tweak these settings?

I thought in one of the professional reviews, the reviewer discussed what he heard with each filter and also when using dithering.  I believe the preferences were stated.  I don't remember where I read the review online but I know it is out there.  On my old Sony Sacd player, there were 4 filter options.  I liked the default the best (sharp rolloff) as it sounded the most natural,  Good luck.

You have a great SACD player, enjoy it for many years to come.  I know exactly what you mean regarding the agonizingly long break in process.  It took close to six months to fully break in my Esoteric SACD player.  I had the Isotek System Enhancer CD on repeat for almost 5 months, running 18 hours a day.  It still took another month or so for the player to really come into it's own and I am most likely. as happy as you are.  I have had my player for 7+ years now and I have no desire to change it.

Enjoy your new toy.
