The Marantz UD9004 Blu Ray Player incorporates Silicon Realta Optix HQV 10-bit processing technology from professional broadcast systems
The moment that the Blu-ray standard became fully specified was also the moment for Marantz give the green light to its engineers and to pull out all the stops. They were told to create the ultimate-quality Blu-ray and SACD player for best pictures and best sound. The result is the flagship Marantz UD-9004 Blu Ray Player, an unbelievably pulsating experience for your eyes and your ears.
The Marantz UD9004 Blu Ray Player incorporates Silicon Realta Optix HQV 10-bit processing technology from professional broadcast systems with no less than 10 technologies for a breathtaking picture experience from DVD and Blu-ray. It also has a whole host of state-of-the-art features to reproduce exceptional-quality audio, as you would expect from a Marantz player. It includes a heavy multilayer copper-plated chassis and an audio-exclusive strong power supply with encased Toroidal transformer and customized capacitors.
The audio section is derived from the Marantz acclaimed flagship SA-7S1 Super Audio CD player and comprises four separate circuit boards to avoid cross talk, including two dedicated boards for the XLR outputs. The circuitry uses the famous Marantz HDAM-SA2's for all channels ensuring fast, precise and large bandwidth signal amplification, while a dedicated, oversized Toroidal transformer delivers the power. High Definition audio formats are processed by a high performance 32-bit floating point type Analog Devices DSP and converted into a high quality multi-channel LPCM signal.
The audio replay for the Marantz UD 9004 Blu Ray Player can be further enhanced via the Pure Direct Mode, which shuts down the video sections and display for the very best performance possible. Equally important to overall performance is the newly developed, proprietary, precision disc mechanism. Its ultra-thin aluminum die-cast tray and high inertia clamp offer incredibly precise operation, while the heavy zinc enclosure and insulated double layer cover remove all vibration. The tank-like build of the upgraded M1 chassis further reduces mechanical distortion. The extensively braced, chassis has a thick bottom plate with machine milled copper feet, sustaining mechanical stability and therefore sound quality. In fact, the design weighs in at massive 19.2kgs.
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. So in total four audio boards with only the best components are used. And, because it includes the Marantz HDAM-SA2s and an all-over sound tuning, the result is a spacious, lively and well tonal balanced, exceptional audio reproduction.
On the Marantz UD9004 Blu Ray Player a dual HDMI output makes it possible to output a dedicated video and a dedicated audio signal to their output source minimize the deleterious effect on the audio and video and reducing the signal degradation by shorter route and less processing.
