Sidebar 1: Marantz SACD 30n networked SACD/CD player
Marantz offers a matching networked SACD player–DAC, the SACD 30n, which is designed and, according to Marantz, "precisely tuned" to integrate with the Model 30 amplifier. This new streamer-radio-headphone amp–CD player was created to sit handsomely atop the cool-running Model 30, making a complete (except for speakers) audio system designed to add an aura of worldly sophistication to any college professor's home.
I installed the SACD 30n for fun and to get a brief feel for the complete Marantz "30" experience. Setup was easy. The 30n streamer and its HEOS app did pretty much all the work. The sound of the DAC/CD player shared the Model 30's penchant for silent transparency and layered detail. Very nice.—Herb Reichert
