Future TAS: Marantz Model 40n

Marantz’s new integrated amplifier features exquisite design and is constructed from the finest materials, adding elegance to any room. There’s built-in access to music streaming from Spotify Connect, Apple Music via AirPlay, Pandora, Tidal, and many more services. The Model 40n also provides access to high-resolution personal-file libraries up to 192kHz/24-bit PCM, as well as up to 5.6MHz DSD. Wireless connectivity options include Apple AirPlay, Bluetooth, and Wi-Fi with HEOS. The new 70Wpc (8 ohms) Class AB amplifier stage leverages the company’s proprietary Hyper-Dynamic Amplifier Modules, plus a new larger power-supply transformer, four output transistors per channel, heavy copper busbars, and discrete surface-mount components. Short power pathways lower internal impedance and deliver high instant current capability, making the Model 40n an excellent match for even difficult-to-drive loudspeakers. The unit sports a full complement of analog and digital inputs to accommodate any source, including Marantz Musical Phono EQ and an HDMI ARC (Audio Return Channel) input for audio playback from a TV.
