Will it play MPEG 4 audio, because iTunes songs are in MPEG 4 audio, however in manual it says mentions AAC (.m4a)? Is the same please advice.

Page 38 of the manual (available on the Marantz site) indicates that 24bit/ 96kHz and higher WAV files aren't supported. The USB device port on the front of the unit only supports 16bit/44.1kHz CD quality or lower when using a USB thumb drive (another commentor said it can also handle 24/44.1). A bit of research here [http://xiph.org/~xiphmont/demo/neil-young.html] convinced me that CD quality is just fine, and that's likely why Marantz didn't include higher rates on this equipment.I have 24bit/48kHz WAV files on my iPad Mini, and when I attach the Mini to the CD6005's front USB port, these WAV files play just fine.

I had the same problem with this unit after three months of trying downloading the drivers multiple times I still could not get it to work. I bought it from spirit sound through Amazon so I called them up and explained the problem that I was having and they had no answers either. Luckily for me spirit sound is a quality company they let me return the unit and since I was interested in a new CD player they gave me full credit and I purchased and NAD CD 546 BEE. This NAD has a USB port with a dedicated the eighth that accepts music from my 64-bit computer. I mention this because I just replaced a Denon receiver that would only accept input from a 32-bit machines which I did not know when I purchased it. The sound quality that comes out of the NAD is unbelievable both from the CD and the USB.

Well, I bought mine a few days ago and recorded some voice /guitar at home. The recorder was easy to use and the results sound clean. It is very easy to transfer into my Mac and to burn a CD. However my CD will not play in my Sony sound system and I was very disappointed to find that the CD is only usable in a computer. I am not at all tech savvy and at age 75, I probably never will be. I even put the wav files through a software that changed them to AIFF bu all I get is a loud buzz from my CD player. Does this sound right?

I tested it after getting this question... I have the drive in a Gateway GT5656 with Windows v8.1Pro and 3gig of memory. I played a Kenny Rogers, Beatles #1 and a few disc I made using VLC (I prefer that as I have found it plays or displays about everything) and it sounded great...So the answer is yes.

Can not give you any guidance about making the radi work. I purchased this radio because I wanted to get international stations and also use attaching a USB drive to play music. Could not make radio nor USB drive work. I contacted seller about returning item. They were very nice about the whole thing. Refunded the money (can't remember if all or partial refund) and actually asked I keep the radio, since I told them I would donate it to a local chairty. I was surprised by the incongruence between my experience and the positive reviews. I donated the radio and have not purchased a new one, so do not know what to recommend instead.

I agree. It looks like a drive on your computer, so you can drag and drop songs to it. It will play them if they are encoded in a way that it understands, i.e. basic .mp3's up to 320 Kbps (and reportedly .wav files up 30 384 Kbps, according to the manual).

Thanks for your question. The manufacturer is constantly working on new models and sonic improvements. This is a fantastic sounding player. World Wide Stereo is 35 years old and a very proud Marantz dealer.

I use a 16gb flash drive but I always use random play--sometimes it freezes when loading--but if I switch to cd then back to usb-it seems to always work fine. I've had no problems with sony or Philips mp3 devices--just seems to lock up when first reading flash drives--it is a little slow at reading files before it begins playing--I'd say about a minute delay-not a problem. Display information depends on what is available on flash drive--ir title artist album are provided it will display them--though you have to turn on the display by using the remote 'display" button or it just gives numeric info

Yes, it will play from a Fat32 formatted 8GB(max) usb drive stick, with standard mp3's(it will support at max a 256bitrate mp3)

I'm not sure, but I was able to put .wav files on it and it plays them fine. The manufacturer might be able to tell you. According to the instructions, it does not play .wav - but it does!

It depends on what you want to do with it. The model with USB is really only for converting analog audio to digital which to me only makes sense if you have music on vinyl only and need to get it onto a digital device. If you are into the really high end analog sound then you should probably also be looking at a higher end turntable too. I would get the one without the USB and then get a good receiver/amp with a built in phono stage. Yamaha and Marantz make excellent units for not much money. I use a Yamaha that sounds awesome with all the effects turned off. That way you save some bucks and have time to decide how far you want to go with this. It depends on what you want to do with it.

USB plug on the front is useless, does nothing, purely ornamental. There is a 3.5 mm auxilliary plug on the back. I've used 32 pin, lightning, and 3.5 to 3.5 and had no problems. it's a nice little unit if you still listen to cd's. I'd get some else if your getting it primarily for MP3. cheers

NO! But..........If the Disc in question happens to be a SACD 'HyBrid' Disc, then it will play the 'CD' layer. On the Hoffman site a few guys said that their Marantz decks wouldn't read the CD layer of a HyBrid disc-my experience is the opposite. With both my 6004 and 5004 and 5001 decks, I haven't had ONE TIME where they would not properly read the HyBrid discs.

it does. It plays WAV too. But mine sort of skips the end and beginning of some songs. Not sure if it is because of the CD or the unit itself.

That isn't something I've tried, however the manual says when playing CD/MP3/WMA discs, you can select Normal Play, Repeat Play, Shuffle Play or Program Play. For the USB drive, you can select Single Repeat, All Repeat, Selected Folder Play, Selected Folder Repeat Play, Shuffle Play, Program Play and Program Repeat Play. Does this help you?

No, the USB chip in this limits it to 24 bit 48k files. The DAC itself is the Wolfson 8740, which is capable of 192k 24 bit. The cheapest USB dac that can play 96khz 24 bit files is the fiio e10. It does not have a battery, so it can't be used with phones.

i didn't try it but it show as a normal disk once connected to USB, so potentially it should work, my advise check mediasonic forums. the device it self is solid.
