Marantz CD-player reviews

Marantz CD 67 CD-player
Marantz CD 67 CD-player

This model was released by the company to replace the CD 63. In this player everything is familiar and recognizable - from the color of the indicator, the brightness of which can be adjusted with the remote (four levels of brightness), and the front panel buttons to the simultaneous remote volume control...
Marantz CD-17 mkIII CD-player
Marantz CD-17 mkIII CD-player

Marantz CD-17 appeared in 1995. However, the manufacturer continues to improve this already cool model with enviable persistence. Is the release of its third modification caused by just a desire to keep up with fashionable technologies that are indirectly related to sound quality? MkIII version, according...
Marantz CD-45 CD-player
Marantz CD-45 CD-player

This Marantz CD-45 is very clearly based on the lightweight budget-priced Philips CD150, with considerable enthusiasm. It even has the same UK retail price of £229 (though I hear that the CD 150 has in the meantime come down to £199.95) but there are minor differences in the layout and scope...
Marantz CD-46 CD-player
Marantz CD-46 CD-player

Marantz CD-46 is a twin of Philips CD721. The main difference is in the design of the faceplate - the enlarged display window, a smooth plane of the panel and traditional for Marantz gold in the graph instead of silver traditional for Philips. To our mind, the variant from Marantz is more elaborated....
Marantz CD-48 CD-player
Marantz CD-48 CD-player

To date, Bitstream single-bit converters can be considered optimal in terms of a combination of price, reliability, uncoloredness and musicality. The sound of the Marantz CD-48 cd player is soft, "commercial". The details are not very worked out, but there is a feeling that this is how it was intended...
Marantz CD-53 mkII CD-player
Marantz CD-53 mkII CD-player

This model is one of legends of the company. Surely it is not so popular like CD-63 but was produced in several series, and now finally there is mk II. A calling message "diSC" appears immediately after turning on: why did you turn on but didn't give a disc? There is such spelling because the segments...
Marantz CD-63 mkII K.I. Signature CD-player
Marantz CD-63 mkII K.I. Signature CD-player

This player, which created a real mess among audiophiles, isn't needed to be presented to our audience. Would a duck swim? By sound quality these quite inexpensive and available models saucily flied in the face of the devices standing 2 times and much more expensive. A copper plate graved with K.I.Signature...
MARANTZ CD-63SE CD-player
MARANTZ CD-63SE CD-player

Marantz CD players are very popular. The tested model represents the standard series of Marantz devices, which is characterized by a very nice design and does not overwhelm the user with a powerful body. The good quality of the player is due to the fact that the device's chassis is manufactured by Philips....
Marantz CD-94II CD-player
Marantz CD-94II CD-player

The original CD-94 was released in 1987, and the Mk II was introduced a couple of years later, making it positively geriatric by today's world of tomorrow's world players. This is no bitstream player, but a multi-bit design using the highest grade of Philips TDA1541 DAC, doubled up in a differential...
Marantz CD5001 CD-player
Marantz CD5001 CD-player

If we focus only on the exterior, we have a typical Marantz - the design of this brand is quite charismatic, even a little old-fashioned, but it is impossible to confuse with anything. The front panel is made of an aluminum plate, but the chassis itself, like the upper casing, is stamped. It doesn't...
Marantz CD5003 CD-player
Marantz CD5003 CD-player

Marantz CD5003, in addition to usual CDs, can play the currently popular mp3 and WMA formats. This is plenty justified - having such a player, a beginner music lover will be able to gradually switch from "compressed" music to better quality. The digital path of the player is based on the well-known...
Marantz CD5004 CD-player
Marantz CD5004 CD-player

CD5004 is the most affordable among the players of the company. The digital part is based on the multibit delta/sigma CS4392 DAC manufactured by Cirrus Logic. By modern standards the chip is inexpensive, but it can provide a very decent sound quality. The branded amplification modules HDAM-SA2 are traditionally...
Marantz CD5400 CD-player
Marantz CD5400 CD-player

"Maranz" company doesn't hasten to leave the sector of stereophonic Hi-Fi apparatus as many Japanese producers already did. Moreover it is one of few companies which tries to strengthen its positions not only in the field of High End but also in the segment of inexpensive, component audio technique....
Marantz CD6000 OSE CD-player
Marantz CD6000 OSE CD-player

This device bearing on itself a brand of "Original Special Edition" among competitors makes impression of one of the most serious. Decent weight in 5,6 kg (for the budgetary technique it much) says that developers didn't save "iron" for achievement of high sound characteristics, so, for certain in CD6000...
Marantz CD6003 CD-player
Marantz CD6003 CD-player

The legendary Japanese brand Marantz is represented in the test by a relatively inexpensive CD6003 player. In the hierarchy of the company, this model takes place in a relatively "budget" sector and is positioned as a good solution for reasonable money. The player is assembled on a rigid metal chassis...
Marantz CD7300 CD-player
Marantz CD7300 CD-player

Big display - informative and well-to-read from a distance (truly this can't be concerned to its music calendar with little symbols) - takes all central part. The player displays not only time of playing and the number of a track but also the name of album and compositions if a disc is loaded from CD-Text....
Marantz SA-14S1 CD-player
Marantz SA-14S1 CD-player

The legendary Ken Ishiwata, the official Ambassador of the brand Marantz in all countries of the world, thinks that music is the highest and the noblest art. Music really appeals to the feelings; to my mind, it is the only art of abstract arts, which has the right to exist. You just need to bring it...
Marantz SA-15S2 CD-player
Marantz SA-15S2 CD-player

Marantz SA-15S2 can serve as a model for other manufacturers. Build quality is precise, materials are the best, and the design is effective, with blue backlight. And there are no signs of savings. SA-15S2 has dual chassis, front panel is cut as if from a solid aluminum plate, DM-10 mechanism is self-engineered....

In 2006, following the results of the vote of magazines from the European Association EISA, particularly this player became the winner.

Maranz CD-62 CD-player
Maranz CD-62 CD-player

Not so long ago the announcement of a new Marantz CD player would be greeted with eager anticipation, particularly if it was a 'breathed-on' version of its parent company's (Philips) machine. But the company once described as the CD jewel in Philips' crown has become a little jaded over the last year...
