MARANTZ NA6005

Pre owned. In good condition. Shows some minor signs of wear. Supplied with remote control and manual. Original packaging not included.

The Marantz NA6005 is a network audio player designed to deliver a high-resolution listening experience, combining refined build quality with advanced technologies aimed at the most demanding music enthusiasts. It integrates seamlessly into the home network thanks to built-in Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity with dual antennas, enabling simple and immediate wireless streaming, and supports services such as Spotify Connect, Apple AirPlay, and Internet radio, greatly expanding listening possibilities.

At the heart of its performance is the reference-grade, high-current CS4398 D/A converter, capable of handling PCM streams up to 24-bit/192 kHz and DSD signals at 2.8 and 5.6 MHz, ensuring extremely faithful, dynamic, and detailed playback even with high-resolution files. A dedicated jitter-reduction system works in synergy with the DAC to resynchronize incoming data and eliminate timing distortions, delivering a stable, precise, and natural soundstage.

Sound quality is further enhanced by Marantz’s exclusive HDAM technology, with HDAM and HDAM-SA2 modules employed in critical stages such as the analog output and headphone amplifier. This discrete-component solution, compared to conventional integrated operational amplifiers, offers faster response and wider bandwidth, resulting in a pure, transparent sound rich in detail.

The network section uses sophisticated technology with dual Diversity antennas and Dual Band “N” support, designed to optimize signal transmission and reception even in high-density urban environments. The system automatically selects the best band to ensure uninterrupted playback, while setup is quick and easy thanks to WPS and iOS Wi-Fi Protected buttons. The unit can also store pairing information for up to eight Bluetooth devices, simplifying everyday use.

Control is conveniently handled via the Marantz Hi-Fi Remote App for iOS and Android, allowing easy management of music libraries and online services from a smartphone or tablet. The front USB port enables direct connection of portable devices and USB storage, while DLNA 1.5 certification allows streaming content from PCs or Macs on the home network.

The player supports a wide range of audio formats, including MP3, WMA, AAC, WAV, FLAC, ALAC, AIFF, and stereo DSD, covering both compressed files and high-resolution lossless tracks. With WAV, FLAC, ALAC, AIFF, and DSD formats, it provides gapless playback, eliminating interruptions between tracks for a seamless and immersive listening experience, ideal for live albums or classical works.

Thanks to the optical digital input, the unit can also be used as an external audiophile-grade D/A converter when connected to a CD player or other digital sources with optical output, enhancing the overall sound quality of the system.

The construction reflects a true audiophile philosophy: the rigid double-layer chassis and the use of separate circuit boards minimize internal interference, while the headphone output features its own dedicated circuitry. Inside, carefully selected high-quality components are used, including high-speed Schottky diodes and audiophile-grade capacitors and low-tolerance resistors, chosen to ensure reliability, stability, and signal purity.

The intelligent USB charging system allows smartphones or tablets to be powered even when the unit is in standby; once charging is complete, the device automatically switches to an ultra-low power standby mode, consuming less than half a watt.

Control options include an ergonomic remote control compatible with other Marantz integrated amplifiers, while the rear panel features remote control inputs and outputs, an IR flasher input, and an RJ-45 LAN port for full integration into a home audio system.

The result of over sixty years of experience from the Marantz brand, founded in 1953, this network player embodies a tradition dedicated to high-level music reproduction, delivering a refined, engaging listening experience that remains deeply faithful to artistic intent.
