Marantz CD 50n Network CD Player
The CD 50n acts as the digital “brain” of the system, combining a high-quality CD player with an advanced network streamer.

Marantz MODEL 50 Integrated Amplifier
The MODEL 50 is a purely analogue integrated amplifier, providing 70 watts per channel of high-current power.
Analogue Focus: By excluding digital circuitry, Marantz has reduced potential interference, resulting in a cleaner, more musical signal.
Powerful Performance: Uses Class A/B amplification and Marantz’s proprietary HDAM-SA3 modules for precise speaker control and a spacious soundstage.
Vinyl Friendly: Features a high-quality Moving Magnet (MM) phono stage for connecting a turntable.
Connectivity: Offers six analogue inputs, a subwoofer output, and a Power Amp Direct input for use in a home theatre setup.

Performance Balance: Pairing the CD 50n’s high-resolution digital processing with the MODEL 50’s pure analogue amplification creates a rich, resolving, and energetic sound that many reviewers find more authoritative than “all-in-one” streaming amplifiers like the Model 40n.
