Extraordinary Sound Quality
You’ll find high quality parts throughout the NA7004. Chosen only after extensive listening tests, they contribute exceptional performance levels to critical circuits. In the analog section, Marantz-proprietary HDAM SA2 circuits handle critical buffering and stage-to-stage signal transition. Symmetrical signal traces help maintain perfect synchronization between Left and Right channels for rock-stable imaging and a convincing soundstage.

An impedance-matching copper plate inside the rear panel just behind the analog outputs improves signal-to-noise performance and channel separation to preserve the NA7004’s outstanding imaging capabilities.

A shield around the digital outputs is but a further detail in Marantz’s quest for quieter operation as it prevents digital noise from affecting sensitive analog circuits.

While it meets the digital-convenience demands of today’s music lover the NA7004 also delivers sound quality that speaks to Marantz’ leading position in the world of high end audio. Indeed, the NA7004 represents a rare marriage of current feature-set with high performance audio circuitry.
