Marantz New Reference Series Lineup - A Sonic Masterpiece for the True Enthusiast

As a family-run audio retailer who’s been in the business for over 45 years, we’ve seen our fair share of gear come and go. But every once in a while, a product line comes along that truly raises the bar—not just for performance, but for craftsmanship, design, and emotional connection to music. The new Marantz Reference Series is exactly that.

Let’s start with the obvious: these components are physical statements. Each piece in the 10 Series has that unmistakable Marantz elegance, but with even more refinement and presence. The copper-plated chassis, the thick aluminum panels, the custom block feet—it’s all about performance and pride of ownership. You can feel the craftsmanship the moment you touch the volume knob.

MODEL 10 - A Sonic Masterpiece

The Model 10 integrated amplifier is a monster—but a graceful one. It’s based on Marantz’s HDAM-SA3 tech and a fully discrete dual-mono layout. We’ve tested it here in the showroom with everything from Focal Sopras to Klipsch Heritage and its 200 watts per channel (into 8 ohms) drives them with both delicacy and authority. The bass is deep and articulate along with holographic mids with highs that shimmer without edge.

SACD 10 – Redefining Digital

Digital playback is often where the soul gets lost. Not here. The Marantz SACD 10 is as close to analog magic as digital audio gets. Whether you’re spinning SACDs, CDs, or feeding it high-res files through USB, it uses Marantz’s proprietary MMM-Stream and MMM-Conversion (Marantz Musical Mastering) architecture to turn bits into emotion.

It doesn’t just play music—it reconstructs it. Instruments appear with startling realism. Vocals hang in space. Piano notes have body and decay. We’ve had long-time vinyl enthusiasts sit down with this player and walk away questioning everything. Your favorite tracks you have listened to countlessly, it will make it feel like the very first time again.

Link 10N – Streaming Without Compromise

Streaming used to mean convenience over quality. The Marantz Link 10N changes that. With its reference-grade DAC implementation, low-noise power supply, and full support for TIDAL, Qobuz, Roon, and more, the 10N brings your high-resolution digital library to life without compromise.

The Link 10N integrates beautifully into systems—both as a standalone streamer or when paired with the SACD 10 and Model 10. You get fluid control, exceptional detail retrieval, and that unmistakable Marantz warmth that never fatigues.

This is Marantz’s finest work. The 10 Series isn’t just a set of components—it’s a system designed for people who demand more: more realism, more musicality, more connection.

If you’ve been building toward your forever system—something to settle into and rediscover every album in your collection—the SACD 10, Link 10N, and Model 10 deserve your ear.

We’ve got them set up in our dedicated listening room, ready for a proper audition. Bring your favorite reference tracks, sit back, and let the Marantz 10 Series show you what hi-fi is supposed to sound like.
