About the CD 6000 KI

The Marantz CD 6000 KI is a refined version of the Marantz CD 6000 series, designed for audiophiles seeking clarity, power, and detail in CD playback. It retains the Philips VAM1201 transport mechanism for fast access and high playability. The player uses a dual-differential 1-bit conversion system with two SM5872BS DACs for minimal distortion and excellent low-level linearity. The output stage employs Marantz's proprietary HDAM amplifier modules, known for their superior sound quality. It offers both analog line outputs and digital outputs (optical and coaxial) for connection to external DACs or recorders. The CD 6000 KI features a dot-matrix display capable of showing CD-Text information. The player is housed in a robust chassis with copper plating and shielding to reduce interference, and it includes an uprated power transformer and improved capacitors for enhanced performance. It supports CD, CD-R, and CD-RW playback and includes a remote control for convenient operation. The design emphasizes dynamic control, speed, and musical coherence, making it suitable for a wide range of music genres.
