Marantz CD 50n - Silver - Black

Description

HDMI ARC

Unlock your TV sound by connecting it to CD 50n. With a single HDMI cable between your TV and CD 50n, you can hear shows, movies, and games at their finest through your stereo system. Video streaming players, game consoles, and even your smart TV’s built-in apps will play with extraordinary clarity. 

Hyper Dynamic Amplifier Modules

While many brands claim unique engineering in sensitive and analog circuits, most use commonly available integrated op-amps in critical signal paths. Those op-amps can compromise audio integrity and limit design ingenuity. Marantz developed an entirely unique replacement for integrated circuits using ultra-high-quality discrete components. Marantz HDAM circuitry outperforms traditional op-amps both in the listening room and the laboratory. Very high-speed signal handling dramatically improves bandwidth. Clever amplification design minimizes distortion, and ideal layout silences noise. Ultimately, the flexibility a fully discrete solution provided us the freedom to engineer the ideal basis for extraordinary performance.

High Precision Digital to Analog Conversion

A class-leading DAC IC is at the heart of CD 50n, enabling ultra-high resolution PCM decoding up to 384 kHz sample rates and 32-bit depth. Up to DSD 256 reveals the finest details in some of the highest-resolution recordings available today.

Pre-Amp Out Digital Volume Control

While CD 50n can be used as a normal source component with fixed analog outputs, it can also be used as a digital pre-amp to drive a power amplifier directly. A second set of RCA outputs on the back panel is dedicated to pre-amp variable output, which is controlled through the included IR remote control.

Dual Master Clock

Two high-speed, high-precision master clocks are built in next to the DAC. Each is dedicated to matching the sample rate of incoming digital audio. One clock matches 48 kHz and multiples thereof. The other matches 44.1 kHz, multiples thereof, and DSD. By using separate clocks for different sample rates, Marantz ensures maximum sample-rate compatibility with no distortion-causing interpolation error.

Discrete Headphone Amplifier

For exquisite private listening, CD 50n’s output is designed using fully discrete HDAM SA-2 circuitry to ensure your headphones sound as warm, spacious, and clear as you would expect from your loudspeakers.
