CD6007 Single Disc CD Player with USB Port (Black)

I knew that buying this Marantz CD player might have been a mistake. Now I am saving my pennies to purchase the matching pre-amp (Marantz PM6007) as I chase down the budget minded audiophile hole, like I need another expensive hobby. But I am glad that I did buy this one. I never knew that CDs could sound so good, hands down far better than any other CD player that I have ever listened to before. It was like leaving the kiddies table and joining the adults. The soundstage and fullness of what I heard blew me away, even with significant hearing loss from the army. The Marantz CD6007 was worth every penny, and then some.

Marantz discovered musical magic with their cd players from the very beginning. Their early models allowed harsh cd's to sound more like phonograph records. I replaced a 24-year-old Marantz changer that I have loved, but it does not begin to compare with this single disc player. I was astounded at the level of detail that I had been missing in my cd collection. The instruments and vocals came alive with correct timbre and balance; sounding much closer, I am guessing, to what the recording engineers intended. Piano music sounded as if the pianist was playing in my listening room. Hi-fi for us poor folk is all about upgrading one component at a time, and reveling in the stark improvement it makes for years until you can afford another upgrade. Replaying every cd you own to appreciate the music anew is a joyful experience. I can't really speak to the 6007's value for the money, since I have not compared it to other brands. I do not use all of its features; I just play compact discs, so it is quite expensive for doing only that, but my ears tell me it is worth it.

This is a good CD transport. It has sound-stage, detail, clarity and good dynamic range. Break in time was about a week to bring it to full performance. Super easy to use. Remote works great. Can dial in any track by pressing on the number pad on the remote. Seeks to tracks quickly. Sounds better in my opinion to "lossless" streaming services, FLAC and computer-based audio. People say you can't tell a difference between lossless M4A or Flac, but I disagree -- CDs sound better and more natural with less listening fatigue.

Sounds good. I bought this model because it supported play from a usb drive. I was surprised to find that it does not support NTFS formatted drives.

DO NOT PURCHASE! Received brand new cd6007 and it played one cd and now does not recognize that cd or any other. Zero stars! Unfortunately, I had the machine for a few months before I was able to hook it up to my new system. Therefore, there’s been a lot of time passed by and it only has played one CD. I welcome reply from Marantz, you hear?

Sounds great paired with Marantz amp.

Very solid and well built unit. Great sounding with both my CD's and with a USB stick. Very pleased with the feel of this stereo component. The CD tray is solid and the front panel controls seem solid. The remote functions very well. I like that I can put a USB stick in and let it randomly play the entire device. The display is limited and as such some users might find it easier to navigate a USB if the component has a link to a TV display. I was shocked that Marantz shipped this in a box clearly marked Marantz (no over box) and that sat on my porch for the day. Also the box was pierced right down to the very last layer of paper on the cardboard inner flap from a packaged dropped on it during the shipping process I assume. That was directly over the remote which had no extra protection on it. But it survived.

I'm experienced with audio equipment and have produced commercial CDs. This CD6007 looks professional and well built. When it reads a disc it sounds very good. But increasingly it says "cannot read disc", when the disc is a professionally mastered commercially successful disc. I tried the Marantz support chat help and although I'm "next in line - with a typical wait time of 13 seconds", after several minutes I gave up. I'm sending it back to Amazon. Next, I contacted Amazon when the vendor gave me a postage required return shipping label. Amazon corrected the vendor and gave me a free Fedex return sticker. Still hopefully waiting for the refund. In the meantime I bought a new Marantz 6007 from another vendor and it works perfectly out of the box. When it works it is a very high quality player.
