Marantz SACD30N

Sorry for the interruption, but I have looked at the 30N, @ $3999 and not balanced, which to me is a sin.


I finally found a review of the Technics SLG 700 CD/SACD/Network player, TRUE BALANCED @ $2999 in the new HiFPig

To clarify and correct the record, the Marantz 30N is $2499, not $3999, (USD) vs the Technics at $2999. So yes you get XLR outputs with the Technics and YOU PAY MORE for it. I agree it's unfortunate the Marantz doesn't have XLR jacks, but don't falsify its pricing. It was designed for a specific price point, as was the Technics. And the higher cost will inevitably give you more features.

YouTube has a few videos on this Marantz 30N player. Check it out.

Happy Listening!

As mentioned above, the SACD30 is close to the Ruby in sound.  I don't find these players dark or flat at all.

Taylor- is the SACD30 made in Japan?

Happy Listening!
