这款新品马兰士HD-AMP1是一款高级紧凑型放大器，具有超凡、典雅、经典的外观。但不要让这些误导您，其高级开关放大器技术能迸发出“震耳欲聋”的70W功率（4欧姆负载时），其双晶体时钟和带有马兰士HDAM-SA2模块的分离式DAC后置滤波器能使标准计数的声音如高解析度音频一样令人吃惊。这款新功放还为您提供独特的Marantz Musical Digital Filtering (MMDF)技术，使用两个可选滤波器特性适应不同的品味和音乐。两者都能精心处理数字音频信号所包含的最微小的细节。因为当今的新媒体不仅有44.1kHz/16位解析度–（与CD格式类似），马兰士开发了数字部分以处理高达384kHz/32位解析度和DSD 2.8MHz / 5.6MHz / 11.2MHz的信号。 光纤和同轴数字输入已准备好连接电视机或机顶盒，还有一个USB-B端口，可从您的PC或MAC直接串流音乐。 还可通过前置USB端口连接iDevice。为在连接至计算机时保证质量，我们在USB-B输入端口周围强化隔离措施，以消除计算机所产生高频噪音进入HD-AMP1的机会。时尚的马兰士旋孔显示屏可显示音量、输入、解析度等信息。 前端是实心铝板，由双层底板和复古风格的侧板支撑。欢迎来到紧凑得令人心醉的世界。

Marantz MusicLink系列

马兰士再度借着MusicLink的再生加强其对纯音乐性能的投入，MusicLink产品系列于1990年上市，注重从小尺寸、罕见设计元件再现音乐的本质。目标很简单：为聆听者带来原始录音棚的所有情感和音乐细节，结合高雅外观和丰满的感觉。令人欣喜的新MusicLink系列的设计者又是Ken Ishiwata，这并非巧合。

马兰士音频性能及发烧级D/A转换器
不要被紧凑的外形误导。得益于超稳定电源以及马兰士独创的电流反馈技术，HD-AMP1可为4Ω负载提供2x 70 W的功率，可轻松处理哪怕要求更高的音乐部件。双晶体时钟以及带有该公司备受好评的分离式HDAM前置放大器模块和后置滤波器，使标准音频的声音如同高解析度音频一样令人吃惊。处理能力不低于384kHz/32位的高电流发烧级SABRE数模转换器，能够轻松地再现哪怕最小的细节。

独特马兰士音乐数字滤波(MMDF)
HD-AMP1具备参考级技术的独特马兰士音乐数字滤波(MMDF)功能。对于马兰士来说，使用标准数字滤波器解决方案不是一个选项，因为滤波对于数字输入信号的声音再现至关重要。因此，为了获得专家级技术，公司进行了大量投资，开发出备受推崇的Marantz Music Mastering技术，这一技术导致Premium Range 11系列获奖产品的产生。针对HD-AMP1硬件设计进行调适后，这种新型解决方案称为Marantz Musical Digital Filtering技术。两种可选的数字滤波特性以迎合不同的品味，两者都能精心处理数字音频信号所包含的最微小的细节，将新媒体文件转换成最精细的高解析度播放。

特殊的开关功放原理
HD-AMP1是马兰士首次利用开关功放原理的Hi-Fi产品。到目前为止，开关(D类)功放显示出一定的局限性，导致马兰士音响工程师不会考虑将其用于高级Hi-Fi产品。现在，HD-AMP1将马兰士独特的HDAM技术、开关功放原理与总体反馈环路结合起来，以保证各种扬声器具有一致的性能。与常规开关功放原理相比，HD-AMP1不会在功放模块的输出中提取反馈信号，而是在LC滤波级之后提取信号。若在LC滤波器之前提取反馈时，功放过程并不会考虑所连接的扬声器，因此，功放对所连接的扬声器的反应非常灵敏，其性能会发生变化。采用精心设计的开关功放并在LC滤波器之后提取反馈，所连接扬声器的影响就变得非常小。除了由功放输出阻抗决定的阻尼系数之外，所连接扬声器的阻抗对频率的反应也不太灵敏。功放原理的高转换速率以及高品质LC滤波器自身可确保较宽的带宽与平缓的频率响应。所有这些都通过紧凑的外形造就了超凡的Hi-Fi性能。

现代连接功能
HD-AMP1不仅构建在著名的马兰士音质基础之上，还具有极高的可连接性。光纤和同轴数字输入以及USB-B端口能让您从PC或MAC直接串流音乐，还可通过前置USB端口连接iDevice。为提供更多连接性，马兰士还附带两个模拟输入。USB-B以异步模式工作，不仅支持384kHz/32位高分辨率音频，还支持2.8MHz、5.6MHz甚至11.2MHz的DSD音频，使性能最大化，以最直接的方式欣赏极佳品质。为在连接计算机时能保证质量，马兰士在USB-B输入端口周围强化隔离措施，以消除计算机所产生高频噪音进入HD-AMP1的机会。

高品质耳机输出
针对通过耳机欣赏最喜欢的录音的音乐爱好者，HD-AMP1配备了高品质耳机级以及专用放大器模块HDAM-SA2。为了能与各种耳机配合，可从低-中-高改变增益因数。这样可以驱动低至高阻抗的各种耳机，不会有任何问题。

优雅的外观
毫无疑问，HD-AMP1是为听者耳朵提供的盛宴。其外形也很优美。前端是实心铝板，由双层底板支承，两侧的木装饰板颇有复古风格。时尚的马兰士旋孔显示屏可显示音量、输入、解析度等信息，体现了该公司最卓越的设计水平。这是纯手工工艺。

双层底盘和铝压铸隔离装置
HD-AMP1具有双层底盘，除主底盘外再加一块底板，以抑制外部振动对音质的负面影响。底盘的支脚采用铝压铸隔离装置以进一步吸收外部振动。
