Description from the seller
Marantz CD-16 – A True Sanctuary of the Golden Era of the CD (Hi-End, 13 kg of Pure Mechanical Purity)
If you’re looking for the typical cold, sharp sound of modern digital players, you’re in the wrong place. If, instead, you’re after a listening experience that is warm, smooth, astonishingly analog, and effortless on the ears, the Marantz CD-16 is the Holy Grail you’ve been waiting for.
Introduced in the mid-1990s as the spiritual successor and optimized version of the legendary CD-15, this 13 kg titan represents the peak of the long-standing alliance between Marantz and Philips. A piece of high-fidelity history that today, in the vintage luxury used market, is increasingly rare and sought after.
THE HEART OF THE LEGEND: DAC TDA1547 & CDM-4/36 MECHANICS
The Marantz CD-16 owes its global fame to a combination of internal components revered by audiophiles:
• The Converter: Equipped with the famous Philips TDA1547 chip (also known as 1-bit DAC 7) in one of its most refined and mature implementations. It’s the secret behind that silky, enveloping sound incredibly close to vinyl.
• The Reading Mechanism: It mounts the legendary and indestructible Philips CDM-4/36, a swing-arm mechanism celebrated for its millimetric precision and almost total silent operation.
BUILD WITHOUT COMPROMISE
Just lifting it reveals the engineering level of the era: a massive copper-shielded chassis to eliminate any interference, paired with a classic laminated transformer generously sized to guarantee absolute power-supply stability. At the back stand out the ultra-high-quality coaxial digital outputs and the sturdy fixed analog outputs at 2V.
TOP-OF-THE-LINE SPECIFICATIONS:
• Frequency response: 20Hz - 20kHz
• Signal-to-noise ratio (SNR): 110 dB
• Dynamic range: 97.5 dB
• Channel separation: 100 dB
• Total harmonic distortion (THD): 0.00135%
• Dimensions: 454 x 138 x 360 mm
• Weight: 13 kg
An unmissable opportunity to bring home an authentic hi-fi battle tank that will transform your Compact Disc collection.
Happy bidding to all!"} )}{
