            The Verdict:  Five stars

The best affordable CD player just got a little bit better.

Pros

o   Class leading insight

o   More dramatic presentation

o   Excellent build and finish

Cons

o   Looks like previous models

The new machine responds in a more cohesive way with rhythms and a slightly better sense of drive. We can hear the leading edges of the bass notes more clearly and there’s a greater feeling of space between the instrumental strands.

This holds true when we play a variety of music files through the USB input. The last-gen CD6006 can’t play the hi-res files, of course, while the new one copes with hi-res PCM and DSD without issue.

The CD6007’s build quality is excellent. It feels solid and operates with a slickness that belongs at a far higher price point. The disc mechanism is quiet and responsive, all the controls working with precision. We can’t think of a rival CD player that feels as polished in use.

No one can accuse Marantz of pushing the boundaries on the CD6007, but it didn’t really have to. The company has taken an already excellent CD player (CD6006) and made it a bit better. At this point in CD’s life arc, at the affordable end of the market at least, that’s all it takes to ensure class leadership.
