CD PLAYER

Marantz again amplifies its dedication to pure musical performance with the rebirth of MusicLink, a product series launched
in 1990 with the focus on reproducing the music essentials from small-size, rarely-seen design components. The aim is
simple: to bring the listener all the emotion and musical detail of the original sound studio, combined with an elegant
appearance and luxuriant feel. It is not a coincidence that the creator of the delightful new MusicLink Series is once again
Ken Ishiwata.

The latest addition to the new Marantz MusicLink series is the HD-CD1, a high-quality CD player in the same compact form as the HD-AMP1 amplifier, for
which it is the perfect match. Combining more than 30 years of Marantz expertise in compact disc playback with the latest developments in digital audio
technology, it’s ideal for use as a CD transport when used with the HD-AMP1, or as a CD player in any situation where a compact form-factor is required
without any compromise on sound quality. Small it may be, but it makes use of state-of-the-art Marantz technology carried over from our Award-winning
CD players, including a high-resolution 192kHz/24-bit digital-to-analogue converter from Cirrus Logic, a high-accuracy system clock, and the famous Marantz
HDAM-SA2 amplifier modules, as found in our flagship Reference Series CD players and amplifiers.
