Discover the PM7000N, the first Marantz Hi-Fi amplifier based on current feedback equipped with HEOS technology. It is the perfect choice for music lovers. The PM7000N includes high-quality audio components, Marantz-developed HDAM modules, a toroidal transformer, and a high-capacity power supply. Stream your favorite tracks and enjoy high-resolution digital audio files (up to 192 kHz/24 bits or DSD5.6). An MM phono input also allows you to listen to your favorite vinyl records.
Digital inputs support PCM audio and decode not only MP3 files but also lossless digital files such as ALAC, FLAC, and WAV up to 24-bit/192 kHz for high-resolution listening. Built-in USB-A and HEOS support 2.8 MHz and 5.6MHz DSD playback. Stream your favorite music wirelessly via AirPlay2 and Bluetooth, and control the amplifier via the HEOS app or with leading voice assistants Apple Siri, Google Assistant, and Amazon Alexa.
Marantz has a reputation for choosing the best possible components for its Hi-Fi electronics, and the PM7000N is built with the same performance-focused Hi-Fi approach. Marantz engineers selected and optimized the PM7000N through extensive listening in dedicated Marantz facilities in Europe and Japan, using audio components optimized for high fidelity.
The toroidal transformer offers several advantages stemming from its efficiency and power capacity. Its shape allows for low levels of electromagnetic radiation and mechanical vibrations, which improves sound quality compared to outdated transformer models you might encounter.
To reduce power consumption in standby mode, the PM7000N is equipped with two separate power circuits. In standby mode, the digital SMPS power supply is active so the network can wake up the PM7000N. When switching to operating mode, the SMPS power supply is cut off and the toroidal transformer is activated to provide the strong current needed to reproduce the Marantz sound signature.

Very comprehensive amplifier even though I don't use all the features. Paired with Cabasse speakers, it produces an impressive sound. It will be complemented later by a Technics turntable.
