Marantz has introduced two new products to its portfolio of high-performance hi-fi components — the CD 50n networked CD player and the MODEL 50 integrated amplifier.
The new Marantz CD 50n is both a top-quality compact disc player and a high-resolution networked audio playback source, offering high-quality support for a wide range of digital music sources. It features a world-class ESS Sabre DAC plus custom-designed Marantz Musical Digital Filters, giving a clear and detailed sound with all forms of digital audio. Thanks to the provision of multiple digital inputs plus network access via Ethernet or Wi-Fi, the CD 50n can also support high-resolution music files sent either directly via digital audio connections or streamed over the home network using its built-in HEOS music streaming platform.
Music streaming from mobile devices is also available via Bluetooth, Spotify Connect and AirPlay2, while home entertainment enthusiasts can even connect their TV audio into the CD 50n via HDMI ARC.
The perfect partner to the CD 50n, the Marantz MODEL 50 integrated amplifier takes inspiration from the proven platform of its sibling, the Marantz MODEL 40n, and is designed for those seeking the warmth, resolution and ample dynamics of an all-analog integrated amplifier. With 70 watts per channel of high-current Class A/B power, it strikes the ideal balance between elegant, contemporary design and the musicality expected from any Marantz amplifier.
The MODEL 50’s current delivery stems from its High Current Output architecture based on parallel push/pull pairs of output devices, coupled with a substantial toroidal power supply and carefully laid out internal signal path topography designed to minimize internal impedance losses. Coupled to the latest iteration of Marantz’s acclaimed HDAM (Hyper Dynamic Amplifier Module) technology, the MODEL 50 offers a combination of low distortion, effortless power, and all the accuracy, transparency, and musicality that marks Marantz amplifiers.
The pure analog configuration, including a very high-quality MM Phono stage, also ensures great results when partnered with vinyl sources — although when connected to its CD 50n sibling, the MODEL 50 can also access a host of additional digital audio sources.
The CD 50n and the MODEL 50 have been developed to work in harmony with each other: their refined industrial design language reflects Marantz’s continued quest for luxurious, premium audio experiences. Both models feature crystal-clear fascia displays — including the iconic Marantz porthole display on the MODEL 50 amplifier — while the remote control supplied with each component is able to operate its sibling just as well, ensuring effortless usability.
The CD 50n and MODEL 50 are available now for $1800 each at Marantz.com and from selected retailers.
