No streaming, no app, no network. What it spends the budget on instead is playing discs and driving headphones.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 0.9em 0;line-height:1.55;\"\u003eConversion runs on an ES9016K2M, with Marantz's own HDAM-SA2 discrete modules in the output stage. Those modules are why the company's players sound like each other rather than like whatever chip is inside them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 0.9em 0;line-height:1.55;\"\u003eA USB port on the front takes a drive. It plays FLAC, WAV, AIFF and ALAC up to 192kHz and 24 bits, DSD to 5.6MHz, and the usual compressed formats. Discs and files share the same converter and the same output stage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 style=\"font-size:1.25em;margin:1.4em 0 0.35em 0;font-weight:600;\"\u003eThe Headphone Stage Is Not an Afterthought\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 0.9em 0;line-height:1.55;\"\u003eThe headphone output delivers 28mW into 32 ohms and offers three gain settings, low, mid and high. That range lets sensitive in-ears and demanding full-size headphones both sit at a sensible point on the dial.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 0.9em 0;line-height:1.55;\"\u003eRound the back are gold-plated analog RCA outputs, with coaxial and optical digital outputs beside them. Those digital sockets are outputs only, which keeps the signal path in one direction and the design simple. Nothing feeds in.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 0.9em 0;line-height:1.55;\"\u003eThe case measures 442mm wide, 396 deep and 129 tall, and weighs 7.5kg.
