Featuring universal compatibility (CD, SACD, DVD Audio and Video and of course Blu-Ray discs), the UD9004 will play virtually any 12cm digital audio or digital video disc ever created. Other notable features include Profile 2.0, Dual HDMI outputs (user selectable for the purest audio and video signal transmission), Internal decoding of Dolby True HD and DTS HD Master Audio, 7.1 analog outputs including Balanced Outputs for the left and Right channels, Copper encased Toroidal Power Transformer, short signal paths, extensive shielding as well as a dedicated audio section that is based on the award winning Marantz SA-7S1 SACD player. Scheduled for release in the summer of 2009, the UD9004 will combine truly universal compatibility with world-class performance.

At Audio Karma Fest Marantz will also demonstrate the ultimate in luxury audio performance with its flagship two-channel Reference System in Room 355, consisting of two MA-9S2 monaural power amplifiers (SRP: $7,999.99 ea.) and an SC-7S2 preamplifier (SRP: $7,999.99 ea.) along with content provided by the ultimate-quality SA-7S1 SACD/CD Player (SRP: $6,999.99).
