Marantz CD6007

If you are looking for a very complete and modern CD player, then you are making a very good choice with this CD6007 CD player from Marantz. Compared to its predecessor, this CD6007 has been improved on several crucial points and offers everything you would expect from a contemporary CD player. Marantz has used quality components in this CD player, delivering a more refined music reproduction and even more musicality than its predecessor. In addition to your regular CD collection, this Marantz CD6007 can also handle CD-R and CD-RW discs with mp3 or WMA files. Via the USB port on the front of the player, this player is also capable of playing USB audio up to 5.6MHz DSD and 24bit-192kHz PCM.

Analog perfection

Marantz has been using HDAM modules for analog signal processing for many years. These are discrete output buffers and replace the widely used but often underperforming opamps. By using one HDAM module per channel, Marantz creates a symmetrical line stage with low noise and high channel separation. HDAM modules have a higher slew-rate and better signal-to-noise ratio than conventional opamps.

With these modules, Marantz CD players deliver the recognizable musical, smooth, well-nigh analog music reproduction that has made them beloved worldwide for many years. Marantz applies separate HDAM modules for the line output stage and for the headphone amplifier so that you also listen to your favorite music albums through your headphones with a detail and openness like rarely before. Tough to drive headphones? These pose no problem for these Marantz.

Audiophile DAC

This CD6007 features a high-quality AK4490 DAC from AKM. This DAC is widely used in high-end digital sources and DACs. In combination with the much praised HDAM SA2 modules, this player delivers a very detailed music reproduction with finesse and liveliness. The player features selectable filters to further tailor the music playback to your personal taste. Finally, Marantz has also improved the build quality of this CD player. The double-layered base plate and solid feet ensure even better sound reproduction.
