CD 50n

CD 50n includes HEOS, a high powered digital audio engine which makes it easy to stream music from a vast world of sources. These include popular and standard technologies like Bluetooth and Airplay simplifying playback of sources like Apple Music. But you'll also find built in support for Spotify, TuneIn Radio, Soundcloud and more. Audiophiles will appreciate the inclusion of Tidal Hi-Res which offers better-than-CD resolution up to 192/24. If you have your own digital music collection, it can be accessed via UPnP, or simply by plugging it into the rear USB port.These services and more can be accessed and controlled by the free HEOS app available on the app store or play store.

Engineered by experts at Shirakawa Audio Works, and meticulously tuned by the Marantz Sound Master in Japan, CD 50n has all the hallmarks of classic Marantz sound plus a greater degree of clarity, resolution, and dynamic range than ever before. Critical technologies like HDAM SA2 discrete circuitry protect signal integrity throughout the analog stages. A top-quality ESS Sabre DAC decodes hi-res PCM and DSD, and a fully linear power supply with toroidal transformer ensures exceptionally dynamic and noise-free sound. Even the chassis is constructed with multi-layer aluminum to bolster it against the effects of air and surface borne resonances.

Though the built-in HEOS system can certainly do a lot, if you have existing digital sources you want to keep, CD 50n's exceptional DAC is an excellent complement to them. Upgrade their sound by connecting them to CD 50n's TOSLINK optical, digital coax (RCA), or USB-B asynchronous inputs to reap the benefits of Marantz sound quality and engineering. Most exciting is the HDMI ARC Input. If your stereo system shares space with your TV, a simple HDMI cable connecting your TV to CD 50n pipes digital audio from the TV into your stereo to reveal an extraordinary soundstage previously trapped in your TV's small speakers. There is no simpler or higher quality way to upgrade your TV sound short of a full-scale home theater.

Of course, CD 50n excels at CD playback. With a purpose-built transport and short signal paths to the DAC, CD 50n may well be the last CD player you ever need. Marantz was part of CD's creation, so the pedigree is strong. It's equally comfortable playing store bought discs and your own CD-R collections. Streaming doesn't have to replace your CDs, its just a perfect complement to it. Breathe new life into your CD collection and enjoy it like never before with CD 50n.
