The Marantz CD-94 is a vintage CD player that was produced in the late 1980s, designed to deliver high-quality audio performance through several advanced features for its time. It operates using a dual DAC (digital-to-analog converter) design, which allows for better sound fidelity and greater detail in audio reproduction. The player is recognized for its robust build quality, often featuring a solid aluminum front panel and wooden side panels, adding to its aesthetic appeal and durability. It includes various playback functions, such as repeat and random play, along with a comprehensive LCD display that provides track information and other navigational data. The CD-94 is also noted for its ability to handle high-quality CD formats, providing a wide dynamic range and low distortion levels. Key specifications of the Marantz CD-94 include a frequency response of 2 Hz to 20 kHz, a signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of over 100 dB, and a total harmonic distortion (THD) of less than 0.002%. Inputs typically feature an optical and coaxial digital output in addition to standard analog outputs, allowing for connection flexibility with other audio equipment.
