What our bench covers →Marantz DV4300 Disc Player — CD, DVD, MP3 and JPEG Playback, 24-bit/96 kHz Conversion, Optical and Coaxial Digital Outputs
A slim, solidly built Marantz source component that handles CDs, DVDs and MP3 discs with equal composure, and measures well enough to earn its place in a serious two-channel system.
The Converter and the Numbers
The DV4300 comes from the period when Marantz was still applying its audio engineering to modestly priced components rather than reserving it for the flagship models. Marantz specified 24-bit, 96 kHz digital-to-analogue conversion here, and the resulting numbers bear the intent out: a 101 dB signal-to-noise ratio, 100 dB of dynamic range, and total harmonic distortion of 0.003 percent are figures many dedicated CD players of the era would have been pleased to publish. Frequency response reaches 4 Hz to 44 kHz on high-resolution material, and wow and flutter sits below the limit of measurement.
MP3 Playback
The MP3 capability is worth dwelling on, because it is the feature that separates this player from the good CD-only machines of the previous decade. A single MP3-encoded disc holds roughly ten hours of continuous music, which turns a stack of compilations into one disc and makes the DV4300 genuinely useful for background listening, parties, and long sessions where nobody wants to be up changing discs. Discs of JPEG images can be played back the same way. For anyone who has been keeping an older CD player going purely out of loyalty, this is the practical argument for the upgrade.
Digital Outputs and Video
As a transport, the player is equally well equipped. Both optical and coaxial digital outputs are fitted, carrying a true 96/24 signal, so the DV4300 can feed a modern DAC or an AV receiver directly and let the newer converter do the work. For those using the player on its own, a stereo analogue output on RCA jacks is provided. Video connections cover component, S-video and composite, with progressive scan and 3:2 pull-down detection for film-based material.
Practical Touches
Practical touches run throughout. The chassis is a slim 2.1 inches tall, so it slots into a crowded rack where a full-height player will not. A front-panel lock guards against accidental operation, a dimmer darkens the display, and the universal 100–240 V power supply means the player is at home on any mains supply in the world.
Condition and What Is Included
Cosmetically this example is in Good condition. The faceplate presents very nicely, with the wear concentrated on the top of the cabinet, which carries a fair bit of scratching — not something that will show in a rack or under another component, but stated here so there are no surprises. A brand-new compatible remote control is included, tested and confirmed to operate all primary functions.
Who This Suits
For anyone assembling a system around a good DAC or a capable receiver — or simply ready to retire a CD player that cannot read an MP3 disc — the DV4300 is an uncommonly sensible piece: Marantz build quality, measured performance well beyond what the price suggests, and a slim profile that fits where other players will not. Available for pickup in Kanata, or shipped across Canada and internationally — we have sent equipment to fifteen countries in the past year, each piece packed in-house in 275 lb test double-wall boxes. Live shipping rates for your address are calculated at checkout.

Marantz began in 1953 in Queens, New York, where Saul Marantz built tube preamplifiers and amplifiers, and by the 1970s it was making receivers with champagne-gold faceplates, blue-lit dials and flywheel tuning. We carry Marantz receivers, amplifiers and preamps, turntables, tuners, CD players and cassette decks. We've had more than 150 Marantz listings so far, covering nearly 100 different models. Every used Marantz here is inspected, tested and serviced as required, then photographed in-house and covered by our Bumper-to-Bumper Warranty and Perpetual Trade-Back Program. Looking for new Marantz? We also quote new Marantz direct from the Canadian distributor, with free shipping within Canada: request a quote below. Don't see the model you want?

Marantz is one of our two top-selling brands of vintage amps and receivers, along with Pioneer. Our five best-selling Marantz models so far: the SR4023 stereo receiver, the vintage 2225, the SR7000 AV receiver, the SR4320 stereo receiver and the vintage 2238B. Many Marantz components were sold without their wood case, so we build our own line of Marantz-specific cabinets, hand-made in genuine Ottawa Valley cherrywood veneer: so far the WC-22 style for the 2220 through 2285B receivers and the WC-10 style for 16 slim-chassis models such as the 1060, 1070 and 112, with more models coming.
The Marantz story, 1953 to today
Saul B. Marantz founded the company in New York in 1953. His first product, the Audio Consolette preamplifier, became the Model 1, and Marantz dates the first Consolettes to 1952–53. Marantz says the early factory was in Woodside, Queens.
The tube years. Through the late 1950s and early 1960s Marantz built a small run of tube separates in New York that collectors still chase: the Model 7 preamplifier (1958), the Model 9 power amplifier (1960) and the Model 10B tuner (1964).
Superscope and the move to Japan. In 1964 Superscope, the company that also distributed Sony tape recorders in the US, bought Marantz, and Saul Marantz resigned at the end of 1967. The Model Eighteen of 1968 was the first Marantz receiver, rated at 40 watts per channel. Under Superscope, design moved to California and, from the late 1960s, production moved to Japan through Standard Radio, which became Marantz Japan in 1975. Receivers such as the 2230 and 2270 are listed as designed in the USA and produced in Japan.
The power race. After a 1974 Federal Trade Commission rule tightened how amplifier power was rated, receiver makers competed on watts. Marantz's Model 2500 of the late 1970s was rated at 250 watts per channel and had an oscilloscope tuning display.
Philips, Denon and today. In 1980 Philips bought Superscope's stake in Marantz Japan and the brand outside the US and Canada. Marantz says its CD-63 of 1982 was one of the first CD players, and its "KI Signature" models carry the initials of Ken Ishiwata, who joined in 1978. In 2001 Marantz Japan bought the trademark back from Philips, and in 2002 it combined with Denon to form D&M Holdings. In September 2025 HARMAN, a Samsung company, completed its purchase of Sound United, the parent of Marantz and Denon.
Which Marantz is which?
Tube separates (1950s–60s): the Models 1, 7, 8B, 9 and 10B, built in New York. Rare collector pieces.
First receivers (from 1968): the Model Eighteen, followed by the Nineteen at the end of 1969.
22xx receivers (from 1972): the first set was the 2215, 2230, 2245 and 2270, with the champagne-gold faceplate, blue-lit dial and "Gyro-Touch" flywheel tuning. A higher number generally means more power: the 2230 is rated at 30 watts per channel, the 2270 at 70. Later "B" versions such as the 2220B and 2285B followed.
Big late-1970s receivers: the 2325 (125 watts per channel), the 2500 flagship and four-channel "Quad" receivers.
1000-series integrated amplifiers: for example the 1060 (30 watts per channel, from 1971), the 1070 and the 1150 (75 watts per channel). The slim 1030, 1040, 1060 and 1070 share their case size with tuners such as the 104, 105 and 112.
Tuners: from the tube Model 10B to solid-state models such as the 2130, with its oscilloscope display.
Wood cases: Marantz sold its wood cases separately: the WC-22 for the 22xx receivers, the WC-10 for the slim 1000-series amplifiers and 100-series tuners, and the WC-1 for larger models such as the 1200. That is why so many turn up bare. A customer who sold Marantz in Ontario in the 1970s told us the cases his shop ordered were built here in Canada, by Westinghouse. Our own cherry WC-22 and WC-10 style cabinets are made in Canada too.
CD players: from the CD-63 of 1982 to the KI Signature versions.
Buying used Marantz: what to check
Dial and meter lamps. Burnt-out bulbs are common on 1970s receivers and are often replaced, sometimes with LEDs. Ask which, if the look of the dial matters to you.
The dial itself. The diffuser sheet behind the dial ages and can dull the glow. Check that the Gyro-Touch pointer moves smoothly and tracks the stations; dial cords are a common replacement part.
Controls and switches. Crackle when you turn a control or work a switch usually means dirt. Try every input, and walk away from a unit that drops a channel.
Capacitors and bias. Electrolytic capacitors in 1970s gear are often past their best, and full restorations replace them. Restorers also set the bias and DC offset.
Cosmetics. Pitting on the faceplate points to damp storage, and dents or water stains to rough handling.
Everything we list is inspected, tested and serviced as required here, and comes with our warranty.
