Marantz CD5005 - Black
Marantz CD player featuring a Cirrus Logic CS4398 24/192 DAC and an HDAM-SA2 headphone output, for precise and musical CD playback.
Description
The Marantz CD5005 is a CD player dedicated to compact disc playback, designed to accurately reproduce the content of your audio discs. It is a classic digital source, intended to be integrated into a stereo hi-fi system alongside an amplifier and speakers.
The conversion core relies on a Cirrus Logic CS4398 DAC, capable of processing 24-bit / 192 kHz streams. This high-end conversion translates into a signal-to-noise ratio of 110 dB and a dynamic range of 100 dB, two values that indicate clean reproduction, with very low background noise and a good ability to render nuances between quiet and powerful passages. Distortion, measured at 0.002%, remains extremely low, which limits alterations to the original signal. The frequency response extends from 20 Hz to 20 kHz, covering the entire audible spectrum.
The headphone output benefits from HDAM-SA2 buffer modules, a technology unique to Marantz designed to preserve signal quality when listening with headphones, without passing the sound through a conventional amplification stage.
This player is aimed at music lovers who own a CD collection and want a dedicated source, rather than those who mainly listen via streaming. It will suit a simple stereo setup, paired with an integrated amplifier, for listening on headphones or speakers.

What to check before buying used
The optical assembly remains the sensitive point: a noisy tray, slow to close, or skipping on certain discs often indicate a dirty or worn lens. Check that the tray opens and closes smoothly and that the display works with no dead pixels or unlit segments. A test with several CDs, including one that is slightly scratched, helps assess the unit's actual playback tolerance.
