Modern Marantz players, such as the SA8005, can act as a USB DAC. The sound quality will be as good as when playing music discs.
Signature Marantz sound
First of all, the owners of a large collection of discs, both regular CDs and SACDs, should pay attention to the SA8005. Together with the Marantz PM8005 amplifier, it will form the basis for an excellent Hi-Fi system.
The player can be used as an external sound card for a PC (requires installation of a special driver). It was possible to achieve excellent sound thanks to the use of an asynchronous USB connection (Type B). In addition to FLAC (CD copies), Marantz also plays DSD (SACD copies). You can connect Apple gadgets to the SA8005 via the USB (Type A) port, and the coaxial and optical inputs will come in handy if you want to connect a media player, TV, etc.
Headphone Amplifier
"Chip" SA8005 — built-in headphone amplifier. It doesn't sound as great as the dedicated Hi-Fi components. But it will be much higher than when listening to music on a smartphone or computer.
