Overview
Extraordinary sound and peerless style, Marantz CD 60 celebrates your CD collection with a player engineered to sound better than any other in this class. Built with high-quality materials and Sound Master tuned, CD 60 adds precision CD playback to MODEL 40n or any high-quality audio system. To preserve the detail, nuance, and essence of the music you love, Marantz developed HDAM (Hyper Dynamic Amplifier Modules), which are superior in their speed and response to off-the-shelf modules found in other products. CD 60 leverages this unique Marantz innovation to ensure whatever you’re listening to is always the most musical.

In the CD 60, the proprietary HDAM circuit has been further optimized from its previous version by placing the parts symmetrically on the audio board and creating a more direct signal path. This update improves the sound stage from the previous models in pursuit of The Most Musical Sound. The CD 60 power supply uses high-speed, high-current Schottky barrier diodes, higher value current storage capacitors and improved voltage regulators compared to predecessor models in this class. Oversize capacitors in the power supply improve current stability and reduced noise during highly demanding listening sessions. The CD 60 can play back MP3, WMA, AAC and WAV, FLAC HD, ALAC, AIFF (up to 192-kHz/24bit), and DSD (up to 5.6- MHz) files from a connected USB storage device.

The CD 60 features a new hi-res D/A conversion. It is equipped with a reference class digital to analogue converter, offering two selectable filter options. It provides up to 192kHz/24-bit and DSD 5.6MHz resolution for optimum musical fidelity with tight bass, rich midrange and smooth extended high frequencies. The CD 60 features a selectable digital filter option. This two-mode filter allows customized reproduction of digital music content to your taste. Filter 1 is a slow roll-off preset that improves deep stereo imaging, while Filter 2 is a sharp roll-off filter for more precise imaging reproduction. The CD 60 inherits the exclusive Marantz HDAM-SA2 circuit with three gain settings (Low/Mid/High) for a perfect match with almost any brand of headphones for an optimal solo listening experience. However, if you prefer, the headphone amp is also equipped with an “Off Circuit” function that automatically turns off the headphone amplifier when a headphone is not connected to the unit to avoid any unwanted interference or noise. Use the remote control to operate CD 60 as well as complementary MODEL 40n integrated streaming amplifier or MODEL 30 integrated amplifier.

Performance is enhanced in this generation with exquisite details and musicality. New high performance component choices, an evolution of our legendary HDAM circuit, and careful validation by our Sound Master result in our finest CD player ever in this class. Accurate data read out from a CD is the starting point for high quality audio reproduction. The digital audio data stream needs to be free of errors. Laser unit and pick-up are perfectly calibrated and need to be able to work without any distortion, like vibrations, from the outside. Hence the CD mechanism is mounted on a stiff steel frame giving a solid base. The result is a clean digital audio signal which gets passed on to the DAC.
