The front panel USB-A port lets you connect your favorite portable audio device, and is compatible with iPod, iPod touch and iPhone sources. The rugged chassis features a dual layer bottom plate for high rigidity and freedom from vibration-induced distortion, and the center mounted disc drive features its own isolated sub-chassis that provides further vibration protection.

The asynchronous USB-B input supports decoding and playback of high resolution audio DSD 2.8MHz and 5.6MHz formats and features a newly developed ground/signal isolator technology which virtually eliminates PC noise. These features alone are a nice touch, especially if you are using a vintage Pre-amp that does not have Remote Control functions With the remote control you can, adjust the volume out ,and change inputs to select usb,coax,or optical. You can set the analog outputs to be fixed or variable. Up front you have an output for Head Phones with level adjustment or Volume Control and a USB 'A' input for Andriod or iPhone. This is a nice feature if you want to play the multi-channel layer of the SACD, and send it to a surround sound decoder and get 5.1 Surround Sound or you want to use a stand alone 2 channel DAC. Also on the back, you have one Digital Optical out and one Coaxial digital out.

one coaxial, one optical, and one USB Type B (for PC). IMO, The Marantz SA8005 (Cirrus Logic CS4398 Dac Chip) ,is a better buy for what you get for the money,compared to the Marantz HD-DAC 1, SO ,Honestly, You get everything that the Marantz HD-DAC1 has, and MUCH More You really do have to audition an NA6006 to decide for yourself. Just because some other members and I happen to prefer a different DAC implementation makes no difference to all of the other SHF members and all of the Marantz customers who think very highly of the NA6006. I hope that I didnРІР‚в„ўt put you off the NA6006. The Marantz NA6006 is a perfectly good streamer with a perfectly good DAC integration. I think the Marantz NA6006 DAC/streamer is well worth auditioning. ThatРІР‚в„ўs a large part of the reason why so many people fall into groups that prefer one chipset over others. Each of us has a sense of hearing that is somewhat (or sometimes only just slightly) different from everyone elseРІР‚в„ўs.

There are preferences of one DAC chipset over others (Cirrus Logic vs ESS vs AKM vs whatever vs the FPGA approach, etc., etc.) but thereРІР‚в„ўs no bad choice amongst any of them - not for many, many years. The preference by someone of one DAC implementation over another has as much to do in many cases with an individualРІР‚в„ўs hearing - where heРІР‚в„ўs more sensitive or less sensitive to certain frequencies or frequency ranges compared to other people who are offering opinions - rather than any hard and fast (often arbitrary) dividing lines about one DAC chipset being better than another.
