Marantz MODEL 60n Streaming Amplifier Launched

The Marantz MODEL 60n network integrated amplifier promises a fusion of feature-laden versatility and warm musicality.
Marantz follows last year's MODEL 50 with the inevitable MODEL 60n streaming integrated amplifier and offers something more affordable than its all-new 10 Series separates.
The MODEL 60n network streaming amplifier boasts exceptional flexibility and cutting-edge technology and features 60W per channel (8-ohm) of high-current Class A/B power. Naturally, this is partnered with the latest iteration of Marantz's acclaimed HDAM (Hyper Dynamic Amplifier Module) technology. This should translate to exceptionally low distortion, effortless power and, more importantly, musicality.
Alongside three RCA analogue inputs, the MODEL 60n offers a "high-quality" moving magnet phono stage for all you vinylistas.
For digital music sources such as CD or games consoles, the MODEL 60n relies on its built-in ESS Sabre DAC plus multiple digital inputs, including optical, coaxial, USB-A.
Blockbusters and boxsets are also catered for, thanks to the HDMI eARC connectivity and subwoofer output.
Of course, HEOS provision means high-quality network music streaming via Wi-Fi or Ethernet and seamlessly joining a whole-home HEOS multiroom system in tandem with other HEOS-enabled products.
Music from mobile devices can be sent via Bluetooth with the 60n fully compatible with Spotify Connect and AirPlay2.
Roon Ready certification, coupled to the ability to access high-resolution music files at up to 24/192kHz or DSD5.6MHz, means that hi-res audio is firmly on the menu. Meanwhile, an over-the-air update due shortly will elevate that support to 32/384kHz and DSD11.2MHz.
The Marantz MODEL 60n Wireless streaming amplifier is available from mid-September priced at £1,300/ €1,500 RRP.

applause awards
Each time StereoNET reviews a product, it is considered for an Applause Award. Winning one marks it out as a design of great quality and distinction – a special product in its class, on the grounds of either performance, value for money, or usually both.
Applause Awards are personally issued by StereoNET’s global Editor-in-Chief, David Price – who has over three decades of experience reviewing hi-fi products at the highest level – after consulting with our senior editorial team. They are not automatically given with all reviews, nor can manufacturers purchase them.
The StereoNET editorial team includes some of the world’s most experienced and respected hi-fi journalists with a vast wealth of knowledge. Some have edited popular English language hi-fi magazines, and others have been senior contributors to famous audio journals stretching back to the late 1970s. And we also employ professional IT and home theatre specialists who work at the cutting edge of today’s technology.
We believe that no other online hi-fi and home cinema resource offers such expert knowledge, so when StereoNET gives an Applause Award, it is a trustworthy hallmark of quality. Receiving such an award is the prerequisite to becoming eligible for our annual Product of the Year awards, awarded only to the finest designs in their respective categories. Buyers of hi-fi, home cinema, and headphones can be sure that a StereoNET Applause Award winner is worthy of your most serious attention.
