Marantz CD 60 Premium CD Player (Silver Gold)

Description

Key Features

• Optimized HDAM Circuitry: Features a proprietary, high-speed Hyper Dynamic Amplifier Module layout that has been further refined “by placing the parts symmetrically on the audio board and creating a more direct signal path.” This vastly improves cross-channel separation and depth of field compared to previous generation platforms. 
• Reference-Grade DAC: Employs a premium ESS Technology ES9016K2M digital-to-analog converter chip optimized for high-current linearity and ultra-low noise floor.
• Selectable Digital Filter Modes: Features a dual-setting digital filter layout. Filter 1 utilizes a slow, smooth roll-off curve for deep, organic 3D acoustic imaging, while Filter 2 uses a sharp roll-off curve for a brighter, ultra-precise transient presentation. 
• Front Panel USB Media Hub: The front-facing USB-A port supports native digital file decoding for master-quality libraries, handling “MP3, WMA, AAC and WAV, FLAC HD, ALAC, AIFF (up to 192-kHz/24bit), and DSD (up to 5.6- MHz) files” straight from standard flash drives.
• Premium HDAM-SA2 Headphone Amp: Integrates a dedicated, fully discrete headphone amplifier output stage. It features a customizable 3-level impedance gain switch (Low / Mid / High) in the setup menu to flawlessly drive heavy planar-magnetic or high-impedance studio monitoring cans.

Applications

• High-End 2-Channel Stereo Systems: Serves as a reference physical-media digital source component paired into premium audiophile separate arrays or high-end integrated amplifiers.
• Local High-Resolution Server Playback: Functions as a file bridge for playing modern uncompressed master tracks from portable hard drives without needing an active computer connection or Wi-Fi network.
• Isolated Headphone Monitor Rig: Operates beautifully as a personal desktop listening station due to its high-power internal analog output staging and independent mechanical isolation.
