Marantz CD6007 CD Player

Hi-fi CD sound with a modern USB twist

The Marantz CD6007 CD Player is built for people who still value discs and want them to sound their best. It reads CD, CD-R and CD-RW, adds high-resolution file playback from the front USB port, and runs everything through Marantz's own HDAM-SA2 circuitry. A reference-class DAC handles conversion up to 192 kHz and 24-bit. Sold as a single unit in black or silver-gold.

Why You'll Love It

• Discs and files in one deck. Play CD, CD-R and CD-RW, then plug a stick into the front USB port for WAV, MP3, AAC, WMA, FLAC, ALAC, AIFF and DSD files.
• Marantz house sound. Proprietary HDAM-SA2 modules replace standard op-amps for more dynamic, detailed playback with lower noise.
• A proper headphone stage. The built-in headphone amplifier uses the same HDAM-SA2 circuit with Low, Mid and High gain settings to match most headphones.

Under the Hood

• Reference-class conversion. The high-resolution DAC offers two selectable digital filters and handles up to 192 kHz / 24-bit and DSD 5.6 MHz.
• Stronger power supply. High speed Schottky barrier diodes and storage capacitors increased by 120% over the previous model steady the current during demanding passages.
• Low distortion by design. Total harmonic distortion measures 0.002% with a 110 dB signal-to-noise ratio and 98 dB channel separation.

CHT Insider Verdict

The CD6007 is a sensible choice for a serious CD source at a real hi-fi price. It keeps a spinning disc at the centre while quietly covering high-resolution files and headphone listening, so one box does more than most players in its class.

Pro Tip: Try both digital filter settings with an album you know well. Filter 1 and Filter 2 shape the top end differently, and the better match depends on your speakers and your ears.
