Marantz NA6005 Network Audio Player (Last One New in Box!)

Marantz NA6005 Network Audio Player

Network Audio Player with Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, AirPlay, Internet Radio and 24-bit/192kHz Digital Audio Support

The Marantz NA6005 is a network audio player built for customers who want to add streaming, internet radio and digital playback to a traditional hi-fi system without replacing their amplifier. Marantz positions it as an archived network audio player with built-in Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, AirPlay, internet radio, Spotify Connect, DLNA 1.5, front USB playback and support for a wide range of lossless and lossy formats.

This is the sort of component that makes sense in a stereo rack where the amplifier is still doing the heavy lifting but the system needs modern source flexibility. Marantz also lists HDAM + HDAM SA2, a CS4398 DAC, headphone output, remote app support for iOS and Android, and optical digital input/output for broader system use.

Built for Network Streaming

A bridge between classic hi-fi and modern music access

The strongest part of the NA6005 is its streaming feature set. Marantz lists streaming audio from PC, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, internet radio, AirPlay audio streaming, vTuner, Spotify Connect, Pandora, SiriusXM, and DLNA Certified v1.5 support.

• Existing two-channel hi-fi systems
• Streaming music from a home network
• Internet radio listening
• Customers adding network audio to older amplifiers and receivers

Wide File Format Support

High-resolution playback for serious digital libraries

Marantz lists support for a broad range of formats, including MP3, WMA, AAC, DSD, FLAC 192/24, ALAC 96/24, WAV 192/24 and AIFF 192/24. The NA6005 also supports gapless playback for FLAC, WAV, ALAC, DSD and AIFF.

CS4398 DAC and Marantz HDAM Output Stage

A proper hi-fi source component, not just a streamer

Marantz specifies the NA6005 with a CS4398 DAC IC, multi-bit delta-sigma D/A conversion, and HDAM SA2 used in the low pass filter stage, output buffer and headphone amplifier. Marantz also lists HDAM + HDAM SA2 in the feature summary.

Marantz lists USB Audio (Front) with Made for iPod and Made for iPhone support, plus a headphone buffer using HDAM-SA2.

• Plugging in USB media directly

• Casual headphone listening without extra gear

Optical Digital Input and Output

Useful for TV and digital source integration

Marantz lists digital input: optical yes and digital output: optical yes, with sample rate digital in up to 192kHz / 24-bit. Marantz does not list coaxial digital input or output on the archived AU product page.

• TV-linked stereo systems via optical
• Feeding another compatible DAC or recorder
• Adding digital connectivity to an existing amplifier-based setup

Wi-Fi Sharing, Remote App and Ethernet

Flexible control and setup options

Marantz lists Wi-Fi Sharing, WPS, remote app support for iDevice and Android, and an Ethernet port. It also lists Flasher In / IP control and Marantz Remote Bus support for broader integration.

Practical Full-Width Hi-Fi Form Factor

Easy to match with traditional Marantz separates

The NA6005 uses Marantz’s familiar full-width chassis format with a metal front panel, detachable power cable, and supplied RC004NA remote control. Maximum dimensions are listed as 17.32 x 14.57 x 4.13 inches, with weight at 13.23 lbs.

The Audio Experts Take

The NA6005 makes a lot of sense for customers who already own a good amplifier and just want to modernise the source side of the system. Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, AirPlay, Spotify Connect, internet radio and front USB access give it much broader day-to-day usefulness than a traditional CD-only source.

It is also clearly built as a proper hi-fi component rather than a throwaway streamer. The Marantz HDAM output stages, CS4398 DAC and full-width chassis help give it the feel of a serious stereo source component, even though it now sits in the archive range.
