Hi brown274: I just received a new refurbished Marantz 5001 from INDEPENDENTAUDIOVIDEO last Wednesday. It was nicely packed in an original container with cables, batteries, remote, and warranty in a plastic sleeve just like a new unit. It replaced an Azur 640C I had at work which finally died for the 2nd time. The Marantz sounds better than the Cambridge Audio ever did and I am hoping it is more reliable. I assume the warranty is invalid which isn't a problem if the unit stays working. Most things die after the warranty expires in my experience anyway. I think it's well worth the price even without the warranty.

daltonlanny,
How long did you burn in the 5003 before returning them? I am considering getting either the 5001 or 5003 because I cant wait any longer for the cambridge dacmagic I originally planned to get. Its just too hard to buy right now

sorry to dig out this old thread. i just bought a CD5003. there is no sound coming out from the headphone jack to my k701. do i need to adjust anything other than volume knob? am i missing anything?

Make certain the jack is seated ALL THE WAY in the plug. If you still don't have sound try another headphone just to be certain it's not you K701.

my k701 is perfectly fine on my amp.
guess i'm unlucky to received a DOA cdp.

I ordered a 5003 and I love it.. for 349 they are a total bargain.
