Marantz CD 70 CD Player with High-Performance DAC and USB Playback

High-Performance Compact Disc Player • Upgraded DAC • Marantz HDAM-SA2 Circuitry • Front USB-A High-Resolution Playback • Selectable Digital Filters • Dedicated Headphone Amplifier

Rediscover Your Music Collection with the Marantz CD 70

The Marantz CD 70 CD Player with High-Performance DAC and USB Playback combines decades of Marantz disc-player expertise with upgraded digital conversion, carefully selected components and a refined modern design. Created for listeners who continue to value the sound, permanence and physical experience of Compact Discs, the CD 70 delivers a clear, balanced and musically engaging presentation from standard CDs and compatible recordable discs.

A front-panel USB-A input expands the player beyond physical media by supporting high-resolution FLAC, WAV, AIFF, Apple Lossless and DSD files stored on a compatible USB memory device. Marantz HDAM-SA2 analog circuitry, separate rectifier circuits for analog and digital sections, a dedicated DAC master clock and a reinforced chassis work together to reduce noise and preserve musical detail, while analog, digital and headphone outputs make the CD 70 easy to integrate into a wide range of stereo systems.

Highlights & Benefits

  • Upgraded High-Performance DAC — Extracts greater clarity, depth and fine detail from CDs and compatible high-resolution USB files.
  • Marantz HDAM-SA2 Circuitry — Proprietary high-speed analog modules provide a more natural, dynamic and responsive output stage than conventional integrated amplifier circuits.
  • Front USB-A Playback — Play compatible FLAC, WAV, AIFF, ALAC, MP3, WMA and DSD files directly from a USB memory device.
  • Selectable Digital Filters — Two filter settings allow listeners to tailor the presentation of CD and compatible PCM playback to their system and personal preference.
  • Dedicated Headphone Amplifier — An HDAM-SA2-based headphone stage with selectable gain supports personal listening with a broad range of compatible headphones.

Technology & Design

High-Performance Digital Conversion — The Marantz CD 70 CD Player with High-Performance DAC and USB Playback uses an upgraded DAC supported by a dedicated master-clock design. Careful timing management helps reduce jitter and allows more low-level musical information to be recovered from both physical discs and compatible USB files.

Marantz HDAM-SA2 Analog Stage — Marantz Hyper Dynamic Amplifier Modules replace conventional chip-based output stages with discrete high-speed circuitry. The CD 70 uses HDAM-SA2 technology in its analog output and headphone sections to support fast transient response, wide bandwidth and the warm, detailed balance associated with Marantz components.

Separated Power-Supply Architecture — Separate rectifier circuits are used for the analog and digital sections to help prevent high-frequency digital activity from contaminating the analog audio path. A high-current power supply, carefully selected audio components and a symmetrical circuit layout further support low-noise performance.

Reinforced Modern Chassis — An additional metal chassis plate helps increase rigidity and reduce the influence of mechanical vibration on sensitive disc-reading and conversion circuits. The metal front panel and understated controls coordinate visually with current-generation Marantz stereo and home audio components.
