Already having a 6005, nothing special to say about it, it does its job and no parasitic noise during playback...

It's hard to believe that you can buy a product marketed as a CD player while considering this function as a bonus, yet that's exactly the case for me! As the owner of a Marantz NR1200, I found that the sound was lacking something when using Deezer (max MP3 on HEOS due to Deezer, quite poor Airplay quality). Additionally, I really missed the iPhone-compatible USB port that I had on the Denon DM(39/40) mini system (it's already more responsive than AirPlay and Heos on this equipment, but also with a wired connection there are no surprises with the battery and audio quality without needing Wi-Fi).
Upon listening, I indeed noticed (and I don't think it's psychological in this case) a nice increase in audio quality with - as others have said - the discovery of instruments that were barely audible before. Is there upscaling, an equalizer or something else in this player? It's a mystery. In any case, the difference in quality is noticeable both on the speakers and on the headphone jack which has the same listening qualities (on the NR1200 the quality seemed lower on AKG 712 Pro and RS-185, again I can't explain it).
At the proposed price, you therefore get a nice headphone amp and an iDevice USB port (a feature that has disappeared from modern products in favor of Airplay).
As a bonus (for me), you also get a CD player that works and highlights the details of the recordings, having tested it on my few CDs. What more could you ask for? For me, it was the best purchase in terms of added quality apart from speakers, even without an amp it would have been worth it for headphone listening...
At most, you'll notice a slightly small display with lower brightness than the NR1200 (at full lighting) and a slight lack of responsiveness (not penalizing) compared to the MCR-612 for example.
NOTE: The remote control works well for the NR1200 too, not just for the PM6006. It also has the same size if you want to pair them together.

Former customer of Rinaldo Bassi for those familiar with the name. My current main system includes a Wadia drive and converter... mentioned without any pretension, just to provide context for my frame of reference.
This 6006 CD player offers excellent value for the money, with very good musicality and balance. It's a shame we have players of this quality at this price point when the CD format is essentially dead......

Excellent Marantz CD6006 CD player connected to the Marantz MA6006 amplifier and Cabasse speakers.
Don't use the RCA cables provided by MARANTZ if you want better sound quality... the musical reproduction of CDs is equivalent to that of vinyl records with this CD player... it's truly a joy to re-listen to my old CDs.

A very affordable audiophile-quality product. I paired it with the excellent Marantz NA6006 network player using an optical connection. The result is entirely convincing, providing the ability to play CDs at a very high level.

Nice device (but at my place it's behind an opaque glass panel).
The essential front-facing buttons are there.
Plays files from USB stick (not useful for me, I have a dedicated digital player).
The adjustable-volume headphone out is very handy at night.

This player is already very successful from an aesthetic point of view. Plus, it's easy to use. The USB port on the front is a real plus. It does the job wonderfully.

Excellent player.
Combined with an NR1200, the result is truly excellent.
Nice bonus: the remote control for this CD player has buttons that also control
an amplifier from the same brand. So you only need 1 remote to turn everything on,
use it, and turn it off, in the most convenient way possible.

Beautiful product that pairs perfectly with my SR7007 in terms of aesthetics.
Connected via analog to the CD input of the AV receiver, with Pure Direct mode engaged, the sound is reproduced beautifully on my Boston VR2 speakers.
With Marantz, you're never disappointed. Now, I'm not an audio "expert", but the sensations and breadth of the soundstage suit me well.
I'll try connecting digitally to the receiver to hear the difference.
No regrets - this is a great replacement for my Cambridge AZUR, which after 3 years of good service, developed major problems with the tray mechanism. Just goes to show that having nice electronics isn't enough.

The SOUND of this CD 6006 player is obviously well-defined and very clean.
I admit to having tested it via the DAC (Burr Brown 192 kHz/24-bit) of my Yamaha RX-V675 Amp as well as a very efficient Sanskrit 10th DAC, and opting for the Cirrus CS4398 integrated into the Marantz for simplicity and sheer effectiveness.
Just 4**** because this device is slow... Its Display is really stingy and totally unreadable beyond 2 meters, and then there's this Airbus remote control that disorients, whereas about twenty buttons are more than enough for normal use...
In short, a very musical and detailed CD player (that's primarily what I wanted) which logically replaces my old Technics SL-PG400A that might still be able to help with reading CD-RWs, which seems to scare Marantz, according to test bench feedback.

A super player that's robust with audiophile quality. An unbeatable quality-price ratio in this price category.

This equipment is high-performing, very musical and practical, plus at a very attractive price - it's a joy. Moreover, the operation and performance of the PM 6006 are perfect.

It replaces a Sony DVP NS 900, and the difference is striking. Everything is clear and distinct; I'm enjoying my CDs again.

Player that gives me complete satisfaction, for music on CD or on USB drive. I listen in particular to classical music and jazz.

High quality construction and the sound is truly excellent. It adapts to any style of music (rap not tested) but the best of the best for aficionados is classical music and opera. I listened to Callas, and what expression! The combination of this CD player with the amplifier from the same manufacturer, the PM-8006, produces marvels.
