High-Resolution Audio

Optical and coaxial digital inputs, and a USB-B port let you stream music directly from a PC, Mac and other digital sources. The USB-B works in a synchronous mode to support 384kHz/32bits high-resolution audio, DSD 2.8MHz, 5.6MHz and even 11.2MHz formats for maximized performance. To safeguard quality when connected to a computer, Marantz built extended isolation around the USB-B input to eliminate the chance of high frequency noise generated by the computer entering the ND8006. The front USB port accepts USB thumb or hard drives for standard music file playback.

Marantz Musical Digital Filtering (MMDF)

The ND8006 features the unique Marantz Musical Digital Filtering (MMDF), inspired by our audiophile reference class technology. For Marantz, using standard digital filter solutions is not an option, as this filtering is crucial to the sound reproduction of digital input signals. Our audio engineers developed highly-acclaimed Marantz Music Mastering technology, used in award-winning Premium Range 10 Series products. Adapted for the ND8006 hardware design, this advanced technology is referred to as Marantz Musical Digital Filtering. Two selectable, digital filter characteristics easily cater to different tastes, with each one handling the minutest detail with the utmost care in the digital audio signal, transforming new media files into the finest of high-resolution playback.

Built-in Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and AirPlay Capability

Featuring Bluetooth and Wi-Fi wireless streaming connectivity, the ND8006 is equipped with an advanced dual antenna transceiver system for robust streaming even in congested urban environments. Plus, Apple AirPlay compatibility lets you listen to your favorite music wirelessly from your iPhone, iPad and other iOS devices.

Unparalleled Sound Quality

The individual “OFF mode” setting lets you switch off unused sections of the ND8006 to avoid any chance of interference and keep the audio source signal paths as pure as possible, further improving sound quality. The shielded toroidal transformer minimizes internal noise while the rigid, double-layer chassis cares for optimal shielding and stability.

Audiophile D/A Conversion and Unique Marantz HDAM

Built with legendary Marantz sound quality commitment, the ND8006 contains audiophile-standard ESS9016 Sabre DAC with dual crystal clocks to ensure accurate handling of all digital signals. Included analog circuitry combined with famous Marantz Hyper-Dynamic Amplifier Modules (HDAMs) creates wide dynamic range and lower distortion. In place of the all-in-one “chip amplifiers” used elsewhere, these miniature HDAMs are built from separate, optimized components for the very best sound quality, and are found in Marantz products all the way up to the Reference series players and amplifiers.

High-Quality Headphone Output

Enjoy music directly from your headphones with a high-quality headphone stage that features a dedicated amplifier module, HDAM-SA2. To work with a wider variety of headphones, the gain factor can be increased gradually, making it possible to drive low to high impedance headphones seamlessly.

Independent Variable Output Terminal

The ND8006 provides a separate variable level connection output to powered speakers, active speakers or a power amplifier direct input, letting you use it as a multi-source digital player/pre-amplifier. Volume can be controlled from the remote handset or via apps.
