But that's not all! It's Audio Exclusive) mode further enhances sound quality by switching off functions such as digital output and pitch control when not in use. It is smart! The random play function will give you another option to explore your music in a new way. Finishing this beauty is an upgraded remote controller as well as low-power stand-by and auto stand-by modes. In addition, high-grade gold-plated analog outputs guarantee best connectivity, while a well-defined headphone output and an easy to read display rounds off this excellent player.

If you think that all CD players sound alike, you need to give the Marantz CD5005 a try. It offers a hard-to-find combination of superb audio performance, understated good looks, and affordability.

Minimalist, handsome and solidly built, the CD5005 features a thick, aluminum/fiberglass faceplate and metal chassis that helps provide a strong frame for eliminating vibrations that adversely affect sound quality. The player has been fitted with a Cirrus Logic CS4398 DAC along with a new CD mechanism — both features are also present in the CD6005.

Marantz has also included circuitry refinements and specially selected parts straight out of their high-end Reference Series playbook including high-quality capacitors in the audio signal path for superior transient speed and better bass response. All of these features add up to a highly immersive sound experience.

Music enthusiasts will love the CD5005's Audio EX mode. It mutes the digital audio outputs and turns off the display and pitch control. By eliminating these potential noise sources, the CD5005 delivers pristine sound quality. Headphone listeners will also appreciate the built-in, high-grade headphone amplifier for private listening sessions. Marantz even uses widely spaced, gold-plated RCA jacks that won't cramp the heavy-duty connectors found on high-quality cables.
