CD/SACD-проигрыватели и транспорты — Marantz SACD 30n

The SACD 30n is a networked SACD/CD player from Marantz, built around the brand's own SACDM-3L transport mechanism and precision-tuned by the Marantz Sound Master over hundreds of hours to marry classic premium disc playback with a modern digital source hub and preamplifier. Designed for the experienced audiophile who wants to combine a large digital music collection with leading online streaming services, the SACD 30n pairs naturally with the matching Marantz MODEL 30 integrated amplifier, sharing that model's distinctive quilted, back-lit front-panel design.

Key specs that matter

The proprietary SACDM-3L transport mechanism offers high signal-reading accuracy, extremely low self-generated noise and a stable working state that maintains reading and error-correction capability even after extended use. Disc playback covers PCM up to 192kHz and DSD up to 5.6MHz, with Marantz's own patented Marantz Musical Mastering digital decoding technology, built on the brand's discrete Hyper-Dynamic Amplifier Module (HDAM SA3) circuit board with hand-selected components, applied to improve sound quality after the signal is read. As a USB DAC, the asynchronous USB-B input handles file formats all the way up to 384kHz/32-bit PCM and 11.2MHz quad-DSD, with the built-in Marantz Musical Mastering conversion and 1-bit decoding chip able to upscale PCM or lower-rate DSD encoding to DSD256 before decoding in 1-bit mode. Two optical and one coaxial digital inputs handle high-resolution PCM up to 24-bit/192kHz, while a USB-A input accepts flash drives up to 24-bit/192kHz PCM and DSD up to 5.6MHz. Built-in HEOS provides ethernet and wireless streaming from Tidal, Amazon Music HD, Pandora and internet radio, alongside Apple AirPlay 2, Bluetooth and voice control via Siri, Alexa, Google Assistant or Josh.ai; the player is also Roon Ready. A fully discrete headphone amplifier uses HDAM-S2 circuitry with three gain settings, and both this headphone stage and the main power supply automatically shut off when not in use to eliminate any potential interference noise. Analogue outputs are unbalanced fixed and variable RCA, with no XLR option. Weight is 30.2 lbs (roughly 13.7kg), with a 5-year parts-and-labour warranty (3 years parts for the optical mechanism).

Sound and use context

Expect exquisite detail and characteristic Marantz musicality, particularly at low dynamic levels - quiet, low-level musical passages with genuine nuance rather than losing them to noise or coarseness.

Pairing

The SACD 30n's variable analogue output and crystal-clear built-in preamplifier let it drive a power amplifier directly without a separate preamp stage, and it forms a purpose-matched pair with the Marantz MODEL 30 integrated amplifier, itself a 100W Class D design with tone and balance controls and a built-in MM/MC phono stage.

Alternatives

Marantz's broader Model 30 series and separates catalogue, including standalone streamers and DACs sharing the same HDAM circuit philosophy, offer alternatives for buyers wanting to build a system piece by piece rather than in this comprehensive all-in-one disc player and digital hub.
