This exceptional CD player is a harmonious blend of cutting-edge technology and meticulous craftsmanship, curated to provide an unmatched auditory journey for the true music lover. HDMI ARC Connectivity: Elevating Your Musical Universe Unleash the full potential of your TV sound by harnessing the power of HDMI ARC connectivity with the CD 50n. With just one HDMI cable linking your TV and the CD 50n, you’re transported into a realm where shows, movies, and games are accompanied by the most exquisite audio through your stereo system. Revel in extraordinary clarity that complements the visual splendor, be it from video streaming players, game consoles, or the built-in apps of your smart TV. Hyper Dynamic Amplifier Modules (HDAM): Crafting Audio Magic Marantz takes pride in pushing the boundaries of audio engineering, especially in critical analog circuits. In a world where many brands settle for standard integrated op-amps, the CD 50n introduces the proprietary Hyper Dynamic Amplifier Modules (HDAM) circuitry. Crafted from ultra-high-quality discrete components, these modules surpass traditional op-amps both in practical listening scenarios and controlled laboratory environments. HDAM handles high-speed signals with finesse, significantly enhancing bandwidth. Distortion is minimized, and noise is delicately subdued, resulting in an audio performance that captures the very soul of your music. High Precision Digital to Analog Conversion: Unveiling the Music’s Soul At the heart of the CD 50n lies a cutting-edge DAC IC, paving the way for exceptional PCM decoding at sample rates of up to 384 kHz and a depth of 32 bits. The capabilities extend to DSD 256, laying bare the finest nuances in some of the highest-resolution recordings available today. This precision in digital-to-analog conversion ensures that each listening session is a journey into the very soul of the music. Pre-Amp Out Digital Volume Control: Tailoring Your Music Experience The CD 50n is crafted to offer flexibility in audio setups. It serves as a traditional source component with fixed analog outputs, yet it unfolds its wings to function as a digital pre-amp, allowing you to drive a power amplifier directly. The addition of a pre-amp variable output with dedicated RCA outputs grants you enhanced control, making it adaptable to various audio configurations. Dual Master Clock: Precision Timing for Immaculate Sound To ensure maximum sample-rate compatibility and eliminate interpolation errors causing distortion, the CD 50n features two high-speed, high-precision master clocks. Each clock is dedicated to matching the sample rate of incoming digital audio, precisely synchronizing with either 48 kHz multiples or 44.1 kHz multiples and DSD. This dual master clock setup ensures that audio signals are handled with utmost precision, delivering a distortion-free auditory experience. Discrete Headphone Amplifier: Your Personal Sonic Sanctuary For those who seek an intimate musical encounter, the CD 50n offers a discrete headphone amplifier. Crafted using fully discrete HDAM SA-2 circuitry, the output ensures your headphones resonate with the same warmth, spaciousness, and clarity you expect from your loudspeakers. This level of detail guarantees that even in private listening sessions, the audio quality remains unparalleled.
