About the CD5001

The Marantz CD5001 CD player combines a state-of-the-art CD transport mechanism with a Cirrus Logic CS4392 192kHz/24-bit digital-to-analog converter, delivering superbly accurate music reproduction with improved detail, pinpoint imaging, and a wide soundstage. It supports playback of CD, CD-R, and CD-RW discs and displays CD-Text information such as artist names and track titles. The unit includes features like pitch control (±12% in 1% steps), quick replay (10 seconds back), random and repeat play, program play, peak level search, and a display off mode to reduce noise interference. Outputs include gold-plated analog RCA stereo, optical, and coaxial digital outputs. The front panel is made of extruded aluminum with a dot matrix FL display. It also has a high-quality headphone amplifier with adjustable volume. The player measures 440 x 87 x 283 mm, weighs 4 kg, and consumes 12-14W of power. It comes with a dedicated remote control and supports remote control input/output for integration with other Marantz devices. The design emphasizes low distortion (0.0025% at 1 kHz), high dynamic range (100 dB), and high signal-to-noise ratio (110 dB), making it suitable for audiophile use.
