See the complete review for the Marantz SACD 30n Network SACD Player.

What can you get for $2500 in a CD/SACD player when the conventional wisdom says disc-based playback is dead?

I had a listen to this new, remarkably engineered, Marantz SACD 30n disc player that also supports high-quality streaming, and with some powered speakers attached can serve as a high-quality home system.

Is the Marantz SACD 30n worth the money or just a way to play your seemingly obsolete disc collection? The answers are surprising, as you’ll see and I’ll hear in my upcoming review of this flagship Marantz product.

Mel Martin

Mel spent most of his life working in television journalism in Ohio, Florida, the BBC in London, and in Seattle, WA. He won a few EMMY awards along the way which most people mistake for bowling trophies. Being around all those expensive monitors frustrated him when he got home to his threadbare TV and stereo, so he began to improve things, brand by brand, upgrade by upgrade. He’s got a lovely OLED TV now, flanked by Magnepan 3.6r speakers, and a Home theater with an Epson Projector and Focal speakers. Also scatted about the house are HiFiMan headphones, and 6 Sonos Connect devices that are spraying his rather large music collection from room to room. Other equipment is from Oppo, Sony, Aurender, PS Audio and Emotiva. Musical tastes range from Classical to Jazz to New Age to classic Rock and Roll. Mel has written a biography of film producer Samuel Bronston (El Cid, King of Kings) and is working now on a second film related book. He resides in Arizona where, when he’s not adjusting his home theater, he dabbles in landscape and astronomical photography.
