Emmanuel Millot, from Sound United (Marantz's parent company who also owns Denon, Polk, Definitive Technology, and others), was on hand to walk us through the new Marantz ND8006 CD and network audio player/streamer. Retail is $1,199 and it became available late last year. "It's actually the first product of its kind on the market," Millot states.. Despite the differences, the DAC performance of the lower cost 8006 is still very good, and still to the warmer coloration Marantz favors. There is a digital out--coaxial and optical--if you want to use another DAC, in a preamp or integrated amp or as a direct feed to a GaNFET amp without a DAC as such.

(Photo: Marantz) The much rockier Bite My Head Off from the Rolling Stones' latest album sounds like it was recorded by a bunch of 19-year-olds with cheap instruments in their dad's garage. But it swings tremendously, simply because the song is good and the player delivers the dynamics.
