From its aluminum front panel back, the CC4001 makes a new statement about the desirability of owning a carousel disc changer. As with most other changers, this Marantz unit holds five discs. Unlike most others, the circuitry features SA-CD grade Cirrus Logic 4392 digital-to-analog converters for the finest sound quality you’ve ever experienced from a multi-disc unit. The CC4001 handles CDs, their recordable CD-R and CD-RW cousins, and MP3-encooded discs, too. You can select the disc you want from the front panel in addition to choosing it remotely. Custom-installation conveniences include a bi-directional RS232C connector, a detachable AC cord, and an infrared flasher input. Hidden inside is a set of five IR code sets for multiple-user convenience. The sound quality? Well, we’ve already mentioned the critical D/A converters. So we’ll just ask you this question – would we use those parts if the rest of the circuitry didn’t demand that level of performance? Of course not. But, then, the CC4001 is a Marantz after all.
