The Marantz SD551 is a high-end SACD (Super Audio CD) player and DAC (Digital to Analog Converter) that was produced by Marantz in the early 2000s. This player supports both SACD and CD audio formats, as well as PCM digital inputs via its USB and AES/EBU connections. The SD551 features a high-quality DAC circuit, using Burr-Brown PCM1792 chips, and a customized clock oscillator for minimal jitter.
