A disc player and network streamer in one. The Marantz SACD 30n plays SACD, CD and CD-R/RW, streams through HEOS built-in, and doubles as a DAC with USB-B, coaxial and optical inputs up to DSD 11.2 MHz.
It is crafted in Shirakawa, Japan, and uses Marantz's Musical Mastering DAC with HDAM-SA3 output circuits. Marantz made it for the experienced audiophile who wants flexibility in format.
Why you will love it
Discs, files and streaming in one
The SACD 30n plays SACD, CD and CD-R/RW discs, including WMA and MP3 files. A USB input plays files from a memory stick, and Ethernet or dual-band Wi-Fi (2.4 GHz and 5 GHz) connects it to your network.
HEOS built-in, AirPlay 2, Bluetooth and Spotify Connect give you several ways to stream. Marantz lists TIDAL, Amazon Music, Deezer, Qobuz and TuneIn among the services available through HEOS.

A DAC for your other sources
Use the rear USB-B input with a computer, or the coaxial and optical inputs with other digital sources. Marantz lists DSD up to 11.2 MHz over USB-B, and digital inputs up to 192 kHz/24-bit.
Network streaming supports DSD up to 5.6 MHz and gapless playback of FLAC, WAV and DSD files.
HDAM-SA3 and Marantz Musical Mastering
The SACD 30n is built on its own discrete circuit boards using Marantz's Hyper-Dynamic Amplifier Modules. It adds the Marantz Musical Mastering DAC and a jitter reducer, a toroidal power transformer and a separate rectifier circuit for the analogue and digital sections.
Marantz says its Sound Master spent hundreds of hours tuning the sound.

Fits custom installs
RS-232, IP control and a flasher input are provided, and the HEOS app (iOS and Android) controls the player. It works with Alexa, Google Assistant and Apple Siri.
