Extraordinary Sound QualityYou?ll find high quality parts throughout the NA7004. Chosen only after extensive listening tests, they contribute exceptional performance levels to critical circuits. In the analog section, Marantz-proprietary HDAM SA2 circuits handle critical buffering and stage-to-stage signal transition. Symmetrical signal traces help maintain perfect synchronization between Left and Right channels for rock-stable imaging and a convincing soundstage.
An impedance-matching copper plate inside the rear panel just behind the analog outputs improves signal-to-noise performance and channel separation to preserve the NA7004?s outstanding imaging capabilities.
A shield around the digital outputs is but a further detail in Marantz?s quest for quieter operation as it prevents digital noise from affecting sensitive analog circuits.
