Marantz CD 70 – Hi-Fi CD Player

The Marantz CD 70 is a high-fidelity CD player designed for music lovers who want to continue enjoying their disc collection with the sound quality Marantz is known for. As the successor to the acclaimed CD6007, it combines a new generation of digital conversion, carefully selected audio circuitry and Marantz HDAM-SA2 technology in a contemporary design that complements the latest Marantz range.

At the heart of the CD 70 is a high-performance DAC, designed to extract greater detail, clarity and depth from recordings. DAC Master Clock Design, separate rectifier circuits for the analogue and digital sections, symmetrical circuit layout and carefully selected audio components contribute to clean, precise and musical reproduction.

In addition to conventional CD and CD-R/RW playback, the CD 70 can reproduce high-resolution music through its front USB-A port, with support for FLAC, WAV, AIFF, ALAC and DSD files. This allows it to serve not only as a high-quality player for a physical CD collection, but also as an excellent source for music libraries stored on USB devices.

The CD 70 also features two selectable digital filters, allowing the sound presentation to be subtly tailored to personal preference and the rest of the Hi-Fi system. For private listening, it includes a dedicated HDAM-SA2 headphone amplifier with adjustable gain.

Its construction reflects the same attention to detail as its electronics, with a metal front panel, reinforced chassis, gold-plated RCA terminals and a power supply featuring a toroidal transformer. The result is a refined CD player that preserves the musical character associated with Marantz while adopting the brand's latest design language.
