CD6003 CD Player

Developed as successor for the highly popular and What Hi-Fi? Award winner CD6002, this new CD6003 offers everything a dedicated music lover desires: wide dynamic range, clear detail reproduction, and excellent staging. The solid chassis is further strengthened by an additional metal bottom-plate, which further reduces unwanted vibration and makes the CD6003 a real “heavyweight fighter”. The mechanism is centrally installed and the USB input is derived from the SA8003 and features an iPod digital connection. The stable, oversized power supply feeds the digital and analogue circuitry of the player, where the high quality CS4398 converts digital signals into analogue, which is then ‘pushed’ to the gold plated cinch outputs by Marantz’s own small signal amplifier, the HDAM-SA2. Altogether the CD6003 is a match made in heaven for the music lover who wants nothing but the best performance at an attractive price.
