A Celebration of the Discs You Spent Years Collecting
The Marantz CD 70 combines decades of innovative, award-winning disc player design with refined modern mastery to create a CD player engineered for the contemporary music collector. Featuring expertly crafted components, Marantz HDAM-SA2 circuitry, a high-performance DAC with DAC master clock design, and USB-A high-resolution playback supporting FLAC, ALAC, and DSD, the CD 70 ensures your favourite Compact Discs always sound exceptional. Whether rediscovering a classic from your collection, enjoying a brand-new release, or exploring high-resolution audio from a USB source, you will hear every instrument, note, and nuance with the uncompromising clarity, warmth, and musical authenticity that define the Marantz signature sound.
The Marantz Signature Sound
The CD 70’s sonic character is defined by warmth, nuance, and authenticity, the result of decades of refinement in Marantz’s approach to CD playback. A high-performance DAC with DAC master clock design, HDAM-SA2 output circuitry, a symmetric circuit layout, separated rectifier circuits for analogue and digital sections, and high-grade customised audio components throughout the signal path all contribute to a natural and balanced presentation that allows listeners to experience their music with greater depth, emotion, and realism. Total harmonic distortion is an exceptionally low 0.0016%, dynamic range reaches 100dB, signal-to-noise ratio is 110dB, and channel separation is 98dB, reflecting the engineering precision that underpins every aspect of the CD 70’s design. A selectable digital filter in CD mode allows further tailoring of the presentation to personal preference.
High-Resolution USB Playback and Comprehensive Connectivity
Beyond its excellence as a CD transport and player, the CD 70 extends its capability to high-resolution USB audio playback via its front-panel USB-A input, supporting FLAC, WAV, AIFF, ALAC, and DSD file formats for those who wish to explore their digital music libraries alongside their physical collection. Optical and coaxial digital outputs accommodate connection to an external DAC or integrated amplifier’s digital input, and gold-plated RCA analogue outputs deliver the CD 70’s musical output to any stereo system with the quality of connection the component deserves. A dedicated headphone amplifier using HDAM-SA2 circuitry, with independent volume control, provides a high-quality private listening option directly from the CD 70 itself.
Timeless Marantz Industrial Design
The CD 70 embodies the timelessly elegant design language that has distinguished Marantz components for generations, with a metal front panel, VFD display with dimmer and off modes, and an extra metal plate for additional chassis strengthening. Available in Black and Silver-Gold, the CD 70 is a visually distinguished complement to the MODEL 70 integrated amplifier and any other component in the Marantz range. A remote control is included, and a detachable power cable, auto power-off function, and D-Bus system connectivity complete a product built for long-term, effortless enjoyment of the music you love most.
