Pairs Beautifully with Marantz Amplifiers Complementary visual design plus compatible technology make the Marantz CD50 a natural companion to MODEL 50, MODEL 30, or other Marantz amplifiers. Hyper Dynamic Amplifier Modules To preserve the detail, nuance, and essence of the music you love, Marantz developed HDAM (Hyper Dynamic Amplifier Modules), which are superior in their speed and response to off-the-shelf modules found in other products. The Marantz CD50 leverages this unique Marantz innovation to ensure whatever you’re listening to is always the most musical. Optimized HDAM Circuit In the Marantz CD50, the proprietary HDAM circuit has been further optimized from its previous version by placing the parts symmetrically on the audio board and creating a more direct signal path. This update improves the sound stage from the previous models in pursuit of The MostMusical Sound. High-Current Power Supply The Marantz CD50 power supply uses high-speed, high-current Schottky barrier diodes, higher value current storage capacitors, and improved voltage regulators compared to predecessor models in this class.Oversize capacitors in the power supply improve current stability and reduced noise during highly demanding listening sessions. Plays Hi-Res Audio USB Sources The Marantz CD50 can playback MP3, WMA, AAC and WAV, FLAC HD, ALAC, AIFF (up to 192-kHz/24bit), and DSD (up to 5.6- MHz) files from a connected USB storage device.
