Enhanced sound quality
At the heart of the CD5005 is a new, top quality Cirrus Logic CS4398 DAC. Respected for its high resolution sound, it's coupled to Marantz's own HDAM SA2 output buffer for reduced noise levels and a highly detailed, accurate sound quality. The CD5005 also features a new transport mechanism that employs customised components for enhanced performance and reliability.

Fully equipped and pitch control
As well as its first-rate sound quality, the Marantz CD5005 also includes a broad range of features. Pitch control is an unusual feature but ideal for dance students or music scholars. Both optical and coaxial digital outputs are provided, ensuring you can connect to a wide range of digital recorders/amps or, in the future, a better quality DAC. Rounding off this impressive CD player is a headphone output with dedicated volume control and remote control.

High quality finish
Unlike some of its competitors, the Marantz CD5005 features a full metal chassis that includes a profiled metal front panel. When combined with the anti-resonance feet, it gives the CD5005 excellent resistance to mechanical and electrical interference, helping to reduce distortion on playback.

For a budget CD player that neither looks nor performs like one, the Marantz CD5005 is on another plain.
