Pair with the MODEL 30 amplifier

Exquisitely designed and precisely tuned to pair with the Marantz MODEL 30 – for your new reference system.

Exquisite Sound Tuning

The SACD 30n continues the renowned heritage of exquisite Marantz components. The SACD 30n is tuned by the Marantz Sound Master, who channeled his passion, experience, and extraordinary ear into every aspect of its unsurpassed design.

The Complete Digital Music Player

The SACD 30n is built to meet all the requirements of the modern audiophile who wants to combine a large digital music collection with the leading online music services. The Marantz SACD 30n marries a classic premium SA-CD / CD player with a modern digital source’s hub/preamp. It plays hi-resolution files including FLAC HD and DSD from your home network, local USB storage, and online sources such as streaming services and Internet radio. It features HEOS streaming, voice and multi-room support, and DAC functionality, as well as Apple AirPlay 2 and Bluetooth integration. The SACD 30n is future-proofed, accepting file formats all the way up to 11.2Mhz quad-DSD and 384kHz/32-bit PCM via USB-B/USD-DAC.

The Most Musical, Accurate, Detailed Sound

The SACD 30n is built on its own discrete circuit board, the Hyper-Dynamic Amplifier Module, or HDAM. By custom-curating hundreds of individual parts, rather than adopting an off-the-shelf solution, Marantz HDAM technology significantly outperforms standard integrated circuits to create the unique musicality you always expect from Marantz.

Transport Mechanism: A history of excellence

Marantz launched its first CD player – the original CD-63 – in 1982. We’ve continued to innovate ever since. At the heart of the SACD 30n is a new, innovative SACDM-3L transport mechanism, engineered solely for the best possible performance when playing SA-CDs, CDs, and music stored on data discs. This new mechanism promises exceptional sound quality from conventional CD and SACD discs and allows listeners to create their own high-resolution audio compilation discs using a computer DVD burner. While the SACD/CD source is not being used, the power supply for the disc drive is turned off to avoid noise or interference.

Marantz Musical Mastering

DSD is the heart of Marantz musical sound reproduction for digital sources in the SACD 30n. PCM and DXD inputs are up-converted to DSD at 11.2MHz using the proprietary MMM-Stream converter within the player. The high-frequency signal produced is processed by the unique MMM-Conversion stage, used in place of a conventional DAC, to generate the analogue output. The MMM-Stream section of the process replaces the oversampling filters normally used in digital to analogue conversion and allows the implementation of the Marantz Musical Mastering filtering. Two system clocks ensure the most accurate up-conversion of the incoming signal, whether it’s from disc or the digital inputs, ranging from 44.1kHz to 384kHz. This unique configuration is tuned with, and for, ultimate sound quality reproduction with a highly accurate signal using dual 32bits floating point DSP for MMM-Stream. Sigma Delta Modulation allows a pure DSD-standard signal to be passed to the MMM-conversion section in the form of a very high-frequency stream of pulses. The design of the DSD-to-analogue filter feeds into the Marantz HDAM (Hyper Dynamic Amplifier Modules) in the output stage for optimal sound quality.

High-quality headphone amplifier

Enjoy music directly from your headphones with a completely redesigned, high-quality headphone stage that features a dedicated amplifier module using exclusive Marantz HDAM-SA2 circuitry with exceptional SNR (Signal-Noise-Ratio). To work with a wider variety of headphones, the gain factor can be adjusted to three established presets (Low/Mid/High), making it possible to drive low to high impedance headphones seamlessly. If no headphone is connected to the unit, the headphone amplifier is turned off to avoid noise or interference.

Built to Last and Perform

Like the MODEL 30 Integrated Amplifier, the SACD 30n is constructed to the highest standards. A solid steel chassis is complemented with sturdy side panels constructed from thick, heavy, non-magnetic aluminum and a rigid steel top cover eliminate interference. Robust, brass machined independent analogue output terminals for fixed and variable ensure the best signal possible.

EISA STEREO SYSTEM 2021-2022

"Marantz’s 30 series has a new style influenced by the design of classic models from the company’s past, combined with up-to-date capability within. The Model 30 amplifier and its matching SACD 30n player are a triumph: the amplifier plays it simple, concentrating on the purest possible sound from its all-analogue design, while the SACD/CD/network player brings a whole world of musical opportunity to the party, from discs to streaming and more. ‘Modern Musical Luxury’ is how Marantz describes this combination, and with its blend of rich, powerful sound, features and gorgeous build quality, this stereo system delivers on that promise."

Hi-Fi Choice

“There’s exceptional clarity here, but never any sense that it’s being forced upon you, so well integrated is the sound.”

Hi-Fi News

“It’s a bold step, taking a familiar Marantz look and re-defining it completely, but where it matters – under the skin – the new Series 30 products have got what it takes to succeed. The SACD 30n in particular, is a much more compelling buy than the SA-12SE, thanks to its onboard networking and multiroom capability, while the Model 30 amplifier has an attractive blend of flexibility, performance and – yes, style.”

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED - EXCELLENT

hifi.nl

"It seems to us that most people will opt for a Model 30 set, because then you really get all the functionality and the picture is completely correct.
But that is not even necessary, because these special devices each have sufficient merits to go through life independently."

Editor's Choice

"Fortunately, this SACD player can also stream and D/A convert via USB. Extra praise for such versatility. And another extra praise for the sound quality, which rekindled love long thought to be rusty."

Fairaudio

"The internal SACD drive is a real blast [...] and delivers a performance that is among the best in the industry. The described strengths of the SACD 30n, which run like a common thread through my listening sessions, are now joined by dynamic and exemplary resolution without ifs and buts as well as textbook-like tonal neutrality."

HiFi Choice

“This combination of Model30 and SACD30n may not be quite as new as it would initially appear, but it makes a fine job of taking established building blocks and sonic traits, and reworking them for what will hopefully be a new generation of Marantz buyers.”

HIFI.NL

"However, what the Model 30 set really likes to do is present vocals as if you were there."

AudioTest

"The Model 30 from Marantz definitely gives the brand new momentum. This shows the extremely successful design and the great usability. The technical values are also more than convincing for a device in this price range. We are really enthusiastic about the sound, which is very detailed and airy despite the analogue warmth. The integrated and perfectly sounding phono preamplifier also makes the amplifier very interesting for vinyl fans. Optically, the SACD 30n network SACD player is a perfect match for the Model 30. But while retro charm prevails on the outside, the inside features state-of-the-art digital converter technology with perfectly tuned preamplifiers. This combination ensures that the SACD 30n sounds as if analogue and digital had created a sound baby in a class of its own."

Hifimaailma

"The MODEL 30 & SADC 30N COMBINATION proved that with 65 years of experience, Marantz can also manufacture high-quality audio electronics for the high-end segment. The high-performance devices are finely finished, reliable and universally sound. They are designed to work together and complement each other."
