The NA7004 is your ideal connection to your favourite music, no matter where it comes from - whether it's from your PC, external hard disc, or as an FM, DAB or DAB+ radio station broadcast in your country, or even on the other side of the world via Internet radio or music service Napster. The NA7004 connects to them all. That's because it incorporates technology based on the DLNA1.5 standard for audio streaming. This functionality can also be found in other products, but here it is much more directed to music lovers and audiophiles, because Marantz has done everything to ensure top-quality audio: rigid cabinet structure, strong power supply, audio output stage applying the famous HDAM-SA2, and fine-tuning by customized components. This network audio player is even ideal for people with no network installed in the home. Simply hook-up the NA7004 via USB connector on the back to your PC and it will recognize the NA7004 as an external sound card. That's the most direct way to enjoy excellent quality. And there's more: digital inputs, iPod-digital-compatible USB and optional Bluetooth reception. This is versatility in the extreme, but amazingly it's also extremely easy to operate via the large display. It all goes to make the NA7004 your open door to a myriad of music stations, podcasts, documentary channels and more - all with the best possible audio quality.

DAB+

DAB is a digital radio system. It offers near CD-quality sound, more stations, additional radio and data services and therefore wider choice of programs, the ease of tuning and interference free reception for the listener, plus the information potential of data, graphics and text. DAB is broadcast on terrestrial networks, and you are able to receive it using solely a tiny nondirectional stub antenna.

DAC Mode

With the DAC mode we describe the operation of the product as an external Digital to Analogue Converter (DAC). You can connect via optical / coaxial digital inputs or the USB type B input sources such as such as an external CD drive, digital tape, music server, PC or network client. These sources can make use of the high quality D/A converter and the analogue output stage equipped with HDAM modules to enrich the sound quality. Please check USB Type B describtion as well.

DLNA

DLNA certified products guarantee a stable and fast connection, cross-brand interoperatebility, Universal Plug and Play (UPnP), automatic IP-addressing and easy to use in a wired or wireless setup with your home network: Sharing of your favourite music, photo's and video's stored on your PC, NAS-drive, Musicserver or HD recorder through your audio/ video set-up is possible.

HDAM SA2

Marantz developed its own discrete circuit boards to replace standard IC's. These HDAM's consists of discrete surface mount components with short mirror image L/R signal paths. Those devices are doing exactly the same thing as the Op-Amps, but outperform the regular IC Op-amps dramatically in terms of the Slew Rate and reduced noise level, resulting in a much more dynamic, accurate and detailed sound. Over the years Marantz developed different types of the HDAM to improve quality and to fit to the special requirements of a product category like CD or amplifier.
