Marantz Musical Mastering (MMM)-Stream and MMM-Conversion

The SA-12SE employs Marantz's innovative Musical Mastering technology - both the MMM-Stream function and the MMM-Conversion stage.

This ensures you enjoy high-definition sound in every note, every genre, and every atmosphere your music creates.

Dedicated Headphone Amplifier

The SA-12SE features a dedicated headphone amplifier with a fully discrete two-stage design. This delivers exceptional performance and supports headphones with a wide range of impedance ratings. With a premium-quality volume controller for precise adjustment, the SA-12SE promises an intimate and uncompromising headphone listening experience.
