The moment that the Blu-ray standard became fully specified was also the moment for Marantz to give the green

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

light to its engineers to create the ultimate-quality Blu-ray and SACD player! The result is the flagship UD9004: a

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Reference standard Blu-ray Player. The UD9004 incorporates Silicon’s Realta Optix HQV 10-bit processing

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

technology, derived from professional broadcast systems, with no less than 10 technologies for a breathtaking

well as an audio-exclusive power supply with encased Toroidal transformer and customised capacitors. To avoid any

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

cross talk to the main front channels, dedicated boards are used in the XLR outputs, the main cinch outputs, and the

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

left over channels. Four separate audio boards are used in total, with only the best components used.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Combining these components with Marantz’s HDAM-SA2 outputs and endless fine-tuning gives this player a

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

tremendously spacious, lively and tonally well balanced sound. Dual HDMI outputs provide the possibility of sending

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

a dedicated video, as well as a dedicated audio signal to their output source, thus minimising the deleterious effect

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

and with less processing, reducing the signal degradation.

Although the UD8004 is a more accessible Universal Disc player solution, it is still a truly exceptional-quality flagship unit, benefiting greatly from the UD9004. Its absolute video integrity ensures excellent Blu-ray playback and it actively improves the quality of your DVDs – that’s because the new Anchor Bay video processing chip optimises any signal with adaptive 3D de-interlacing, noise reduction and detail enhancement. For the analogue video-out, it applies a 297 MHz/12 bit DAC. On the audio side, Marantz has ensured excellent reproduction of CD and SACD by building in a dedicated power supply exclusively for analogue audio. HDAM-SA2s are used for all channels and are divided over two independent audio boards. And all of this functionality and high quality reproduction is packed in a very solid chassis.
