Detachable Power Cord
The CS4398 directly converts 1-bit DSD signals, which
is the Super Audio CD recording format. It is also a high-
performance D/A converter that supports a maximum
192 kHz/24-bit PCM signal. This ultra low distortion and
high-resolution device has a built-in dynamic element
matching circuit that greatly reduces the output signal
distortion to provide dynamic range (120 dB) and THD+N
(-107 dB) ahigh performance.

D/A converter
USB DAC Function
A USB (Type B) input for connecting a Windows or Mac
computer is located on the rear panel. The digital audio
signal input from the computer is converted to analog by
the CS4398 high-performance D/A converter the same
as for Super Audio CDs and CDs and is then output via
a high-definition analog audio circuit. The library in the
computer can be played back with Hi-Fi quality. The SA-
KI PEARL LITE is also equipped with coaxial and optical
digital inputs to support up to 192 kHz/24-bit for playback
of high sound quality sound sources that exceed the
quality of CDs.
iPod and iPhone digital connection
compatible USB port
A USB (Type A) port that is compatible with digital input
from iPod or iPhone is located on the front panel. The
PCM signal is directly output without using the internal D/
A converter of iPod and is then converted to an analog
signal by the high-performance DAC of SA-KI PEARL
LITE for high-quality sound playback. This can also be
used to play back music files stored in mass storage
class devices, such as a USB memory.
*Supports 5th generation and later iPod.
HDAM-SA2 high-speed voltage amplifier module
used as a buffer amp in the analog output circuit is
the same one employed in the flagship SA-7S1.
This propriety Marantz circuit technology achieves
both high speed and low distortion. The audio circuit
features a thoroughly parallel layout and equal length
for the right and left channels as well as improved
channel separation spatial expression capability.
