Marantz HDAM Technology
The NA8005 features multiple HDAM and HDAM-SA2 modules in critical circuit blocks, including the analog output stage and the headphone amplifier circuit. Compared to conventional IC op-amps, HDAM technology delivers a fast slew rate and high bandwidth to help ensure life-like audio sound quality.

Standalone D/A Converter Capability
Equipped with both optical and coaxial digital inputs, the NA8005 features the CS4398 192 kHz/24-bit D/A converter, which provides a wide dynamic range and low distortion. For computer audio sources, the NA8005 features a USB-B port that allows direct PC connections. To eliminate noise-induced distortion, the USB-B port features isolated ground technology that prevents PC-originated noise from corrupting the digital audio data stream. The NA8005 is also equipped with a special jitter reduction system that re-clocks the incoming digital audio data stream for optimised audio quality.

Audiophile Construction
Featuring a dual-layer bottom chassis, the NA8005 is built with a rigid cabinet structure and includes additional audiophile enhancements such as machined gold-plated brass audio output connectors and a dedicated headphone amplifier circuit that features HDAM technology, along with a dedicated front-panel headphone volume control.

Multiple Control Options
Supplied with a deluxe ergonomic remote control that’s also compatible with Marantz CD players, the NA8005 also supports the Marantz Remote app (iOS/Android) via your home network. The rear panel includes remote control input and output ports for direct connection to a Marantz CD player and an infrared (IR) flasher input for connection to an external control device. There’s also an RS-232C serial port for connection to an external home automation system, and you can even control the NA8005 via your web browser. The NA8005 also features variable audio output capability, so you can connect it directly to a stereo power amplifier, with no need to run it through an interim pre-amp.
