even your smart TV’s built-in

Hyper Dynamic Amplifier Modules
While many brands claim unique engineering in sensitive and analog circuits, most use commonly available integrated op-amps in critical signal paths. Those op-amps can compromise audio integrity and limit design ingenuity. Marantz developed an entirely unique replacement for integrated circuits using ultra-high-quality discrete
components. Marantz HDAM circuitry outperforms traditional op-amps both in the listening room and the laboratory. Very high-speed signal handling dramatically improves bandwidth. Clever amplification design minimizes distortion, and ideal layout silences noise. Ultimately, the flexibility a fully discrete solution provided Marantz the freedom to engineer the ideal basis for extraordinary performance.

High Precision Digital to Analog Conversion
A class-leading DAC IC is at the heart of CD 50n, enabling ultrahigh resolution PCM decoding up to 384 kHz sample rates and 32-bit depth. Up to DSD 256 reveals the finest details in some of the highest-resolution recordings available today.

Pre-Amp Out Digital Volume Control
While CD 50n can be used as a normal source component with fixed analog outputs, it can also be used as a digital pre-amp to drive a power amplifier directly. A second set of RCA outputs on the back panel is dedicated to pre-amp variable output, which is controlled through the included IR remote control.

Dual Master Clock
Two high-speed, high-precision master clocks are built in next to the DAC. Each is dedicated to matching the sample rate of incoming digital audio. One clock matches 48 kHz and multiples thereof. The other matches 44.1 kHz, multiples
thereof, and DSD. By using separate clocks for different sample rates, Marantz ensures maximum sample-rate compatibility with no distortioncausing interpolation error.

Discrete Headphone Amplifier
For exquisite private listening, CD 50n’s output is designed using fully discrete HDAM SA-2 circuitry to ensure your headphones sound as warm, spacious, and clear as you would expect from your loudspeakers.
