I noticed a tagline on ads for the Marantz CD5001 was "newly designed headphone amplifier" -- any impressions of this?

All I have to say is that their awesome pair of headphones. Great sound stage, vocals are a bit too strong, you can feel the bass other than hearing it, and great for movies. Comfort is 4.5...

I know people bash on Bose because of they're over priced and I agree. I believe these retail for about $150 or so and I paid $85 for these due to employee discount at where I work. With that...

Really good driving Sennheiser HD600 and HD650.
Really poor driving AKG K701, and decent driving Beyerdynamic DT880/990.
Haven't tried any other headphones with it.

It does drive the K701 pretty decent and drives the Grados SR80 pretty good.

Find a marantz dealer and check them out. That is what I plan on doing.

I've owned the CD5001 for a few weeks now, and am VERY happy with the sound and quality of the built-in head amp. It sounds GREAT with my Senn HD-595's, which are low impedance cans. This hi-res CD player is a total winner, considering the price!

I agree with Ham Radio Nut! The 5001 is a fantastic cd player for the price! It gives my Marantz SA8001 a REAL run for its money, and may even best it in some areas! The SA8001 is warmer, slightly more dynamic, and has more body to the sound, but the 5001 has a more extended top-end, and seems a wee bit more detailed than the 8001.
The 5001 does drive all my Sennheisers [580/595/650] really, really well.
But, it just does NOT drive my AKG K701's well. It has some good volume with them, but the sound is thin, rather bright, and lacking any reasonable bass with them compared to an outboard headphone amp.
The headphone jack on my Marantz SA8001 drives the AKG's quite abit better, especially in the bass.
