Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Marantz CD 70 and what does it do?

The Marantz CD 70 is a dedicated CD player built around a new high-performance DAC and Marantz's proprietary HDAM circuitry, designed to deliver high-quality disc playback in a compact full-width component. It plays standard CDs, CD-R and CD-RW discs, and includes a front-panel USB-A input supporting FLAC, ALAC, AIFF, WAV, and DSD files from connected USB storage. The Marantz CD 70 succeeds the CD6007 with a new design language, upgraded internal construction, and a toroidal power transformer. It is available at Trutone Electronics in Mississauga, Ontario.

Does the Marantz CD 70 have digital outputs?

The Marantz CD 70 includes both a coaxial S/PDIF output and an optical TosLink output alongside its stereo RCA analogue outputs. These allow the player to feed an external DAC, AV receiver, or digital-capable amplifier directly from the disc or USB source. An option to disable the digital outputs is available in the menu, which Marantz says can improve analogue output purity when digital outputs are not in use.

What hi-res formats does the Marantz CD 70 support?

The Marantz CD 70 supports FLAC, WAV, AIFF, ALAC, and DSD playback from USB storage. Hi-res file playback is USB-only — the player does not read DSD, WAV, or ALAC files burned to data discs, only standard CD-format discs and MP3/WMA data discs.

Does the Marantz CD 70 play SACD?

The Marantz CD 70 does not play SACD. It is designed specifically for CD and CD-R/RW disc formats, with USB playback extending to hi-res PCM and DSD files from connected storage. Listeners seeking SACD playback within the Marantz lineup should consider the SACD 30n.

How is the Marantz CD 70 different from the Marantz CD 60?

The Marantz CD 70 uses a toroidal power transformer and DAC Master Clock Design, neither of which is found in the CD 60 which uses a less expensive EI transformer. The CD 60 is a heavier chassis at 7.5 kg and delivers a higher published signal-to-noise ratio, and also supports hi-res file playback from burned data discs which the CD 70 does not. The CD 70 offers a more modern design and an upgraded DAC platform at a more accessible price.

Does the Marantz CD 70 have a headphone amplifier?

The Marantz CD 70 includes a fully discrete headphone amplifier built with HDAM-SA2 circuitry, with adjustable gain and automatic headphone detection. This makes the CD 70 a complete personal listening source without requiring a separate headphone amplifier. The headphone socket is a standard 6.3mm jack on the front panel.

Does the Marantz CD 70 have built-in streaming or network connectivity?

The Marantz CD 70 does not include network streaming, HEOS, Wi-Fi, Ethernet, or any online connectivity. It is a purely local source component for disc and USB storage playback only. Listeners who want both disc playback and network streaming in a single Marantz component should consider the CD 50n, which integrates HEOS streaming alongside CD playback.

What makes the Marantz CD 70 an upgrade over the CD6007?

The Marantz CD 70 improves on the CD6007 with a new DAC chip, toroidal power transformer, DAC Master Clock Design for reduced jitter, and an updated HDAM-SA2 headphone amplifier section with auto-detection. Construction upgrades include a double-layered chassis base, rigid isolation feet, and strategically placed copper hardware.
