Webmaster Posted February 15, 2007 Report Share Posted February 15, 2007 Richard Prinsloo points out Akiba-Gadgets coverage of the rack-mounted Marantz CM6001P CD/MD deck. The unit sports MDLP support (but not Hi-MD) and fully digital I/Os. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raintheory Posted February 15, 2007 Report Share Posted February 15, 2007 Looks nice!Too bad it doesn't seem to have XLR (Balanced) I/O... The Optical output is nice though. And the unit looks very sleek! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reefbeef Posted February 15, 2007 Report Share Posted February 15, 2007 If I converted correctly, this unit costs around $750US. If the RH1 or anyother device did not exist to upload legacy MD digitally, and if it were about half as much - I'd buy one.This unit looks great and I'm sure it is a quality product. I have a Denon (lower end Marantz, I believe) reciever/amp that sounds absolutely beautiful. The fact that it doesn't support Hi-MD has me wondering whether Sony ever sold licenses to other companies to to allow them to market their own Hi-MD products.

MikeRofone Posted February 16, 2007 Report Share Posted February 16, 2007 So is this deck ever going to make it into the Equipment Browser (there was a pro Teac deck that never did make it...)? Just curious Nice deck and should do well in applications like traveling roadshows; I see Md's being used a lot for those. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
batfastad Posted February 17, 2007 Report Share Posted February 17, 2007 The fact that it doesn't support Hi-MD has me wondering whether Sony ever sold licenses to other companies to to allow them to market their own Hi-MD products.Yeah a Hi-MD full-size deck - equivalent to the MDS-JB980 deck - would have been awesome.Though Sony must have done some licensing to other companies since there's those units by Onkyo...http://www.minidisc.org/part_Hi-MD_Onkyo.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rayzray Posted February 18, 2007 Report Share Posted February 18, 2007 (edited) i used to see the Dennon rack mount "Years Ago" at a local music/instrument shoppe;; what impressed me was that i think you could "loop" with it;; not sure.. like "A" to "B" thing..this unit seems to be a duplicate of that;; maybe without the loops and A/B things..i think there was also a "Quick start" which would ignore any silent space before the song and just play from the song when you picked a track with silence headers..the price was never good enough to rate one;; i would rather DJ with TWO Sony 520 Decks..

bluecrab Posted February 27, 2007 Report Share Posted February 27, 2007 Not too long ago, I bought a Marantz CD player that looks a lot like the 6001, w/o the MD:http://us.marantz.com/Products/1154.aspIf the DAC on the 6001 is the same used in the CD5001, then I'd be expecting some really good sound from the unit, because Marantz didn't waste much time with bells and whistles for the 5001, all the money went into its guts. Wow.Bet we'll never see the 6001 in the U.S. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
