New Marantz Model 30

@jbhiller   Go to Google images, and look at the pics of the inside of the Ruby and the M30.  The M30 is a "budget" version of the Ruby, no copper plating, and they may have changed a few other minor things.  Read reviews on the M30 and check out how much of it is made of plastic, rather than metal.  Appearances can be deceptive.  The Ruby is still available, and while more expensive, it strikes me as the better long-term investment.  

I think the SACD 30n looks really interesting. 
Marantz MMM dac technology (DSD upconvert) like Ruby and SA-10 plus built in streamer. Transport unit in-house developed so should be supported long time with rug getting pulled. 
As to the plastic comment, most of the reviews say it is aluminum not plastic 

Yes, I suppose we cannot litigate the quality issue over Audiogon.  I have some experience, albeit I'm not an expert, building tube amps.  The innards of the 30 look very good. I would never expect them to look like the Ruby.  

I also think it's great to see Marantz making this product.  I think it helps HIFI.

Just me tell what you see.

Also, from a review:
"Because of the design choices, the cabinets have become totally different than we are used to from the PM line. Just like the SACD 30N, the Model 30 has a symmetrical design with a kind of reworked front on both sides: they added some sort of structure to it. On those worked pieces shines the well known led strip. White this time. It looks cool. However, there is a bit of an odd design-choice: these ‘façades’ look like metal, but unfortunately it is not. It is plastic."
