Marantz HD-AMP1 black

A new addition to the MusicLink series developed by Marantz, the HD-AMP1 high-quality compact amplifier is a feast for the eyes with its classic and elegant look. But don’t be fooled by its compact form.

Thanks to its advanced Class D digital amplification technology, it delivers 2x70W of power at 4 Ω while the dual clock and discrete filter located after the digital/analog converter and its renowned HDAM-SA2 preamplification modules from the brand make even the most standard sound as incredible as high-resolution audio.

This new amplifier features Marantz’s unique Musical Digital Filtering (MMDF) technology, with two digital filtering characteristics available to suit individual tastes and process the finest details of the digital audio signal with the utmost care. Nowadays, most new media have a resolution of 44.1kHz/16 bit (similar to CD format), so Marantz has developed a digital section to handle signals with resolutions up to 384kHz/32bit and 2.8 MHz / 5.6 MHz / 11.2 MHz in DSD.

The coaxial and optical digital inputs are ready for connection to your TV or set-top box, and the USB-B port allows you to stream music directly from a PC or Mac or connect other digital sources. You can also connect Apple devices via the front USB port.

To preserve quality when connecting to a computer, Marantz has reinforced the insulation around the USB-B input to eliminate the risk of high-frequency noise generated at the computer input level on the HD-AMP1 amplifier. Information about volume, input, resolution, etc. is displayed on the elegant Marantz porthole display, a famous design feature of the brand.
