Link 10n Network Audio Player

The Marantz LINK 10n is the digital heart of the flagship 10 Series and one of the most accomplished streaming preamplifiers Marantz has produced.

Designed for listeners who want reference-level digital playback without sacrificing analogue flexibility, the LINK 10n combines a high-performance network streamer, DAC and fully featured stereo preamplifier within a single substantial chassis.

Sonically, the LINK 10n has the refined, spacious and naturally musical character associated with Marantz, but with considerably greater resolution, control and scale than the company’s more affordable streaming products. It is capable of revealing fine detail without becoming clinical, making it particularly well suited to high-quality systems where long-term listening enjoyment is just as important as outright resolution.

Streaming is handled through the HEOS platform, giving access to major music services and network audio playback, while the extensive digital connectivity allows the LINK 10n to form the centre of a complete digital system.

It is equally capable with analogue sources. Balanced and single-ended inputs are provided alongside a high-quality phono stage supporting both moving-magnet and moving-coil cartridges, allowing the LINK 10n to function as a genuinely complete preamplifier rather than simply a network player.

Construction is suitably ambitious. A triple-layer aluminium chassis, copper plating, isolated internal sections, multi-layer circuit boards and Marantz HDAM modules are used throughout to minimise interference and preserve signal integrity.

The LINK 10n is a particularly compelling partner for the Marantz MODEL 10 power amplification platform, but its combination of streaming, DAC and preamplifier functionality makes it equally attractive at the heart of a wide range of high-end systems.

For listeners looking to simplify a reference-quality system without compromising sound quality, the Marantz LINK 10n is an exceptionally capable and versatile solution.
