I bought this CD player after selling my ARC player a few mths ago. Initially i was going to wait until the fall but since i haven't played any CDs in mths i decided to get this new player from Marantz. I read good things about Marantz entry level players in the past. I received the player yesterday and to my surprise the player performs excellent right out of the box. Packaging and construction is high level. My initial sound impressions are of a huge soundstage with pinpoint images. This player is very extended at the frequency extremes. On top of that this is a very transparent player. I can hear/see the layering and separation of instruments in the background of the soundstage. There is a lot of detail without being bright or edgy, just the right amount. This player never fatigues the listener which in my book is the standard measure of a good CD player. I'm very curious as to how this player will sound after 3 or 4 hundred hours of use and break in. I am definitely keeping this player and also given it my best recommendation at the $1,000 price point.

OK, this does not resemble the classic Marantz equipment of my ancient youth, but like those old devices, this new player is pure stylistic beauty. Even the black version is absolutely gorgeous. This unit shows an extremely high build quality, and packs a hefty weight. The sound is superb. Its only fault is: it can't remember where you left off on a disc, when you power off mid-disc. I am used to players being able to resume where I left off. It is a quibble, I know. I love listening to my collection on this player, and like to look at it too, but hey, I am weird like that. It is nice to have a Marantz back on duty.

Well made player. I currently own a Marantz NA6006 Network audio player that has the same DAC chip as the CD60 - ESS9016 I believe the output stage is made better on the CD60 then on the NA6006.The sound stage on the NA6006 is good but the sound stage on the CD60 is much more expansive.

The Marantz CD 60 replaces a Rotel CD 14 which stopped reading CDs after only one year and nine months. I'd like to hear the upgraded Rotel CD 14 MKII, since it currently has the same selling price as the Marantz. The build of the Marantz manifests quality. The sound it reproduces is pretty close to audiophile standards. Filter 1 produces clarity and a spaciousness with raw edginess to the highs - being a hardcore jazz fan, I like this mode; while Filter 2 maintains clarity and the same wide soundstage but adds some refinement to the sound by softening the edginess of the highs. I hear a distinct difference in reproduction from all of my previous CD players (Rotel and NAD). I was never so excited about the performance of an electronic device. The Marantz is hitched to a Sony ES1800 AVR which boasts tremendous power and feeds two power hungry SVS Ultra Towers. I feel like I'm on my way to achieving audiophile status.

I thought this would be a good upgrade from my well used Sony CD player. I have slowly been upgrading all my music system and this was the last component to do. I have learned from experience that quality components do make the music sound more alive and enjoyable.But I have to give a solid 5 stars to Marantz for this CD player! There was A noticeable improvement to depth, separation and sound stage produced by this player.I am ( as another reviewer said) enjoying a newness to all of my CDs.

Like several other reviewers here, I was sent a CD60 that would not read a single disc in my collection. I've already returned it and am wondering whether to gamble on ordering a second unit (since I gather that a functioning CD60 sounds pretty damn good). It doesn't help that I emailed the customer service department at Marantz a week ago and nobody bothered to respond, not even with a boilerplate paragraph. Arcam, I hear you calling....

Compared this to various cd players: vintage Sony, ND8006, and SA8003–this one sounds far the best. To do better you have to step up to a 30n SACD player. Only downside is no separate input to take advantage of superb dac implementation.

Excellent CD player for the money and highly recommended. The remote control could have been better but the sound and detail out weighs the three stars I have given for the remote.

Who says they are just spinners? Foolish with an enourmous amount of earwax or a certain bias toward other forms of money spinners.This is a large improvement on my previous Cd player. Nuff said. Cheers to the snap crackle and pop oficianados. Best wishes.
