PCM and DXD inputs are up-converted to DSD at 11.2MHz using the proprietary MMM-Stream converter within the player. The high-frequency signal produced is processed by the unique MMMConversion stage, used in place of a conventional DAC, to generate the analog output. The MMMStream section of the process replaces the oversampling filters normally used in digital to analog conversion and allows the implementation of the Marantz Musical Mastering filtering. Two system clocks ensure the most accurate up-conversion of the incoming signal, whether it’s from disc or the digital inputs, ranging from 44.1kHz to 384kHz. This unique configuration is tuned with, and for, ultimate sound quality reproduction with a highly accurate signal using dual 32bits floating point DSP for MMM-Stream. Sigma Delta Modulation allows a pure DSD-standard signal to be passed to the MMM-conversion section in the form of a very high-frequency stream of pulses.

Even the Marantz gear from the 1970s is in high demand.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe reason for this is the classic signature sound developed by Saul Marantz that made them big hits when they were first released. What is pretty neat about Marantz is that they have a group of engineers in Japan whose only job is to keep the best of Marantz having that same sonic signature. They are trained to recognize this sound and spend all of their time listening to new Marantz models to fine-tune the circuitry to meet that standard.

Even more impressive is the fact that the Model 40n is made in their Shirakawa Audio Works plant in Japan where all final assembly is done by hand.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"col_half\"\u003e\u003cimg style=\"display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; max-width: 100%;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.audioadvice.com\/wordpress2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/model40n_Black_u_n_StudioF_01.jpg\" alt=\"Marantz Model40n - Black\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"col_half col_last\"\u003e\u003cimg style=\"display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; max-width: 100%;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.audioadvice.com\/wordpress2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/model40n_Silver_n_f_k_StudioF_01.jpg\" alt=\"Marantz Model40n - Silver\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"col_narrow\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"hp-title\"\u003eFeatures \u0026amp; Technology\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDon’t let the beautiful elegant look of the Model 40n fool you, this unit has all of the features you need to make it the centerpiece of a great audio system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Model 40n gives you an integrated amp and streaming device in one combined package. First, let's talk about the integrated amp section. If you know audio, you probably know an integrated amplifier is a preamp and power amp combined into one box. The preamp handles all of the controls, input switching, digital processing, and more, while the job of the power amp is to simply drive the speakers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe internal layout of the Model 40n is as equally impressive as the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.audioadvice.com\/shop-by-brand\/marantz\/marantz-model-30-integrated-amplifier\"\u003eModel 30 integrated amp\u003c\/a\u003e. The large transformer and power supply sit on the left side with massive heat sinks in the middle for the power amp section, which appears to have very short connections to the binding posts. All the critical low-level components are on the right side with some of them in a totally shielded box. It really is super impressive how the Model 40n is put together considering its cost.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"col_full\"\u003e\u003cimg style=\"display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; max-width: 100%;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.audioadvice.com\/wordpress2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/model40n_Silver_Guts2.jpg\" alt=\"Marantz Model40n - Interior\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"col_narrow\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMarantz rates the power amp section at 70 watts per channel into 8 ohms and we are happy to see this is an honest power rating from 20hz to 20,000 Hz at a low distortion level. We are seeing some brands just measure at 1K with high distortion, which is misleading in our opinion. And while it does not fully double down into 4 ohms like the Model 30 does, it does deliver 100 watts per channel into a 4-ohm load. Marantz uses a pretty big toroidal power transformer in the Model 40n, which accounts for its very stout weight of over 36 pounds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Model 40n uses the same type of Hyper Dynamic Amplifier Modules found in the bigger Model 30. These are fine-tuned to give you that classic warm Marantz sound that draws you deep into the essence of your favorite music.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn the analog side of things, there is a very good moving magnet phono preamp built-in. This trickles down from the phono preamp they created for the Model 30 and is more than just an afterthought. You can feel confident you are at about a $250 separate phono preamp level with the one they include. There are three line-level inputs labeled, CD, line, and recorder. Like its bigger brother, Marantz also gives you a record out. You may ask what that is all about. Well, there is a resurgence of people buying vintage cassette and reel-to-reel tape recorders and going back to making their own mixtapes. The tape out allows you to get the signal over to your tape device, which is pretty cool to see this nod to the vintage trend.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"col_full\"\u003e\u003cimg style=\"display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; max-width: 100%;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.audioadvice.com\/wordpress2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/marantz_model40_specsblackback.jpg\" alt=\"Marantz Model40n - Back View\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"col_narrow\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe were really happy to see the addition of a subwoofer out on the Model 40n, and they even give you variable crossovers every 10Hz from 40Hz to 120Hz, which is great. There is a connection set that puzzled us and that is a set of power amp inputs. These allow you to use the power amp only of the Model 40n, and this would be cool were there a set of preamp outs, but there are not any preamp outs. We feel like the more likely use case would be you would love your 40n but want a bit more power, which you could do if it had preamp outs. \u003cspan\u003eIn our mind, Marantz should have included preamp outputs instead of preamp inputs\u003c\/span\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe digital section has a Toslink and coax digital in. Another connector we think is really great to see is the HDMI Arc connection. This will let you connect your Arc capable TV to the Model 40n to send the audio from its internal apps or anything connected to it back to the Model 40n. The neat part about an HDMI Arc connection is that it takes over the volume\/mute and power controls, meaning your TV remote will operate the Model 40n and switch it to the HDMI Arc input when you turn on your TV. Most TVs made in the last 5 years have Arc features on board.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you have a USB drive full of music, you can connect it to the rear of the Model 40n too. There is a wired ethernet connection and wireless antennas. You can stream any Hi-Res music on your network right into the Model 40n. And like the Model 30 SACD streamer, Heos is on board too. Heos was developed by Marantz’s sister company, \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.audioadvice.com\/shop-by-brand\/denon\"\u003eDenon\u003c\/a\u003e, and has evolved to be an excellent streaming platform. Heos gives you most of the popular streaming services. Heos used to get a bad rap, but it has greatly improved and worked solidly for us although we do recommend if you are going from Heos to Airplay that you stop the Heos app first to avoid any switching noise- we did encounter one. Integration between the app and the stick remote with the 40n was seamless which was kind of nice being able to just pick up the remote and pause or fine-tune the volume without having to open our smartphone. In addition, there is Airplay 2 plus Bluetooth 4.2. Those of you into voice control will be happy to know it works with Alexa, Google, and Siri too.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"col_full\"\u003e\u003cimg style=\"display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; max-width: 100%;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.audioadvice.com\/wordpress2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/model40_logo_desktop.jpg\" alt=\"Marantz Model40n Graphic\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"col_narrow\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe did wonder a bit why Marantz did not include Chromecast or Bluetooth Apt X HD, but it was likely a decision to keep the price down on this very high-value unit, plus Heos does give you almost every streaming service you would want with the exception of Qobuz, which they might add at some point. When you consider the way it is put together, how it sounds, and the features they even added to it like HDMI Arc and subwoofer out you do not even get on the two separate 30 series pieces, this unit offers just a ton of great stuff for its price.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"col_narrow\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"hp-title\"\u003ePerformance\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Marantz 40n was fun to set up. We love those heavy-duty binding posts! Getting it on the network was easier than most pieces of gear as we just looked at network devices, clicked on it and our iPhone loaded all the network credentials via Airplay. It might require using the Heos app for Android users. Just for grins, we have set up an area with a somewhat weak WiFi signal to see how well units do in this situation, as let's face it, not everyone has a hard-wired connection where they want to put the gear. Some other units have had streaming dropouts in this same position, but the large dual external WiFi antennas on the 40n did the trick as we never had any issues. We used Roon via Airplay and Tidal via Heos and both worked well.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe expected we would get dynamic and well-controlled bass from the 40n based on the large power supply and we were not let down at all. Our reference tracks there came through quite well, although some larger amps we have tested including the Model 30 had even more impact and control as you might expect.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 40n continues that classic Marantz warm sound as even when cranking things up, it still held together without a sense of strain. The soundstage was also very 3 dimensional. When we connected back up our reference \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.audioadvice.com\/shop-by-brand\/mcintosh\"\u003eMcIntosh\u003c\/a\u003e stack, it was obvious the Mc stack had far more warmth and inner detail, but when you consider the price of the 40n, it is extremely musical for what it costs and on the right recording was throwing out a huge soundstage with ease.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe were driving some pretty sensitive speakers with the 40n during our tests so its power rating of 70 watts per channel never really came into play. In modest-sized rooms, it should work really well with speakers that are 88 dB or greater with no issues.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"col_full\"\u003e\u003cimg style=\"display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; max-width: 100%;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.audioadvice.com\/wordpress2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Marantz_Perfect_Partners_MODEL40n_Black_In-situ_442.jpg\" alt=\"Marantz Model40n - Black\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"col_narrow\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"hp-title\"\u003eSummary\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne big question that will come up for many people looking at the Model 40n versus the Model 30 series stack is which one is better? If you can afford the 30 Series units, you will get a much beefier power amplifier that is capable of controlling your speakers a whole lot better, but the DAC\/streaming part of the 40n seems really competent to us and the amp is better than we expected. Of course, you don’t get a CD player like you do with the 30 Series model, but you do gain HDMI Arc in the 40n, which is a great feature for those of you who want to use your two-channel stereo with your TV.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlus, you get that classic appearance we love about the 30 series, and the touch and feel of the controls is just first class. When it comes down to it, the Marantz 40n offers a great feature set, beautifully built quality, and sound that is going to be very hard to beat for its cost.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Marantz","offers":[{"title":"Black","offer_id":41288639381588,"sku":"MARANTZ:MODEL40N-BLK","price":2700.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Silver \/ Gold","offer_id":41288639414356,"sku":"MARANTZ:MODEL40N-SLV-GLD","price":2700.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0572\/3281\/8260\/files\/model40n_black_u_n_studiof_01.jpg?v=1718140500"},{"product_id":"marantz-cd60-cd-player-black","title":"Marantz CD60 CD Player","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"col_narrow\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUnveil New Sounds in Classic CDs\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCD 60 is for those who cherish their CD collections and who seek to discover new details upon every listen.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLuxurious Design Matches The Most Musical Sound\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eArchitectural design, modern materials, and intuitive operation make CD 60 as incredible to behold as to hear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePairs Beautifully with Marantz Amplifiers\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eComplementary visual design plus compatible technology make CD 60 a natural companion to MODEL 40n, MODEL 30, or other Marantz amplifiers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHyper Dynamic Amplifier Modules\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo preserve the detail, nuance, and essence of the music you love, Marantz developed HDAM (Hyper Dynamic Amplifier Modules), which are superior in their speed and response to off-the-shelf modules found in other products.

Unsatisfied with the available equipment, Saul Marantz designed and built his own preamplifier, and unknowingly would start a revolution in audio equipment.

Having this option was a first in the audio world, and after encouragement from his wife and friends, he started producing the Audio Conselette Preamplifier, and the rest is history. Marantz has since been a force in the audio world, with many music lovers choosing Marantz for its warm musical sound and solid build quality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"col_full\"\u003e\u003cimg style=\"display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; max-width: 100%;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.audioadvice.com\/media\/wysiwyg\/High--Marantz_CINEMA30_U_bk_StudioF_01.jpg\" alt=\"Marantz CINEMA 30 in black\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"col_narrow\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"hp-title\"\u003eDesign \u0026amp; Build Quality\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.audioadvice.com\/home-theater\/home-theater-components\/home-theater-receivers\/marantz-cinema-30-11-4-channel-home-theater-receiver\"\u003eMarantz CINEMA 30\u003c\/a\u003e is the brand's revolutionary new flagship \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.audioadvice.com\/home-theater\/home-theater-components\/home-theater-receivers\"\u003ereceiver\u003c\/a\u003e, focusing on compatibility and customizability. Built at the famed production facility in Shirakawa, Japan, the all-metal front panel keeps things elegant and simple looking with just an input selector, a volume knob, and a small display showing your volume level, source selected, sleep timer status, zone status, and radio tuning frequency. The lower part of the front panel has hinges that open the panel, showing all the front panel controls and a larger display for much more detailed information. A \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.audioadvice.com\/headphones-portables\/headphones\"\u003eheadphone\u003c\/a\u003e jack and a power button flank the sides of the front panel, which have a cool textured look that Marantz uses for their new product line.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLike the other models in the CINEMA series, we found the user-selectable lighting built into the front panel gives the CINEMA 30 added style while not being too distracting. We think this look gives these new products some character and allows for an upscale, clean appearance not seen in many \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.audioadvice.com\/home-theater\/home-theater-components\"\u003ehome theater components\u003c\/a\u003e. The casework and back panel are built well and very well laid out, giving a quality feel throughout. Compared to the CINEMA 40, its chassis is also now deeper at 17.6 inches compared to 15.8 inches. In addition, the CINEMA 30 weighs in at 42.8 pounds compared to the CINEMA 40’s at 32.3 pounds. And like the other models, Marantz offers the CINEMA 30 in two color options: black and silver gold.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"col_full\"\u003e\u003cimg style=\"display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; max-width: 100%;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.audioadvice.com\/media\/wysiwyg\/color_options_cinema30.jpg\" alt=\"Marantz CINEMA 30 in black and silver gold\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"col_narrow\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"hp-title\"\u003eFeatures \u0026amp; Technology\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"subhead margin\"\u003eSonically Superior\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn past AV receiver products, multichannel power was one area where people were sometimes let down. Companies would specify their power ratings to look better than they are. They would do this by testing using only one channel or rating the power at excessive distortion, or using a 1kHz test signal that doesn’t show true full-range power output, which all make their ratings look awesome on paper. Marantz knew they wanted to stand out in this regard as they rate the CINEMA 30 at 140 watts with 2 channels driven at 0.05% THD with a full range signal at 8 ohms and peak power of 250 watts at 6 ohms.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"subhead margin\"\u003e“70% Guarantee”\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne of the main elements of Marantz’s promise of more accurate power ratings is its 70% guarantee. This guarantee ensures that the CINEMA 30 will produce 70% of the rated 2-channel output power into five channels. This is the same guarantee that the Marantz SR8015 has, and in testing, that unit far exceeded the 70% guarantee at 5 channels driven, which is a testament to Marantz’s humble and honest power ratings. The CINEMA 30 will produce about 98 watts into 8 ohms into five channels to satisfy the 70% guarantee, but we do expect it to perform slightly better than that, similar to the SR8015. With all that said, what it means for you is that you can be sure that the CINEMA 30 has plenty of power for all but the very largest home theater speaker systems. Should you need more power in the future, there is a full complement of preamp outputs for all 13.4 channels of processing power. These preamp outputs are powered by the HDAM SA-2 preamplifier stage that promises to deliver the warmth and musicality that Marantz is known for.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMarantz can promise these power ratings due to the carefully chosen components in the amplifier section of the CINEMA 30. Much like the SR8015 it replaces, the CINEMA 30 uses an 835VA toroidal transformer and two 22,000uFX power supply capacitors. These feed the needed current to the 11 discrete HDAM class A\/B output stage modules in the CINEMA 30. Another unique feature of the CINEMA 30 is copper plating inside the chassis for better isolation and performance characteristics. And on top of it all, all of these components are tuned by Marantz’s Sound Masters in their factory in Japan for the best performance possible.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"col_full\"\u003e\u003cimg style=\"display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; max-width: 100%;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.audioadvice.com\/media\/wysiwyg\/CINEMA30_Toroidal_Transformer_3.jpg\" alt=\"Detail view of CINEMA 30 Toroidal Transformer\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"col_narrow\"\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"subhead margin\"\u003eMaximum Compatibility\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMarantz promised full compatibility in their new flagship receiver, and they delivered! You’ll find seven 8K HDMI 2.1 inputs, two independent 8K HDMI outputs, HDMI ARC and eARC support, and one 4K HDMI second zone output. In addition, 8K upscaling, HDR, HLG, Dolby Vision, HDR10+, and Dynamic HDR are all supported. Having this level of video input allows full compatibility with almost any video component or technology out there.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDigital inputs include two coax, two toslink inputs, and USB. Analog inputs are also plenty, as there is a multitude of RCA inputs for CD players and other components and even a component video input for legacy video sources, which even the AV10 doesn’t have. Bluetooth is fully supported, giving you the option to use your headphones for late-night listening or watching movies, as well as voice control from Alexa, Google Assistant, and Siri. And finally, it has a phono input for moving magnet cartridge turntables!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"col_full\"\u003e\u003cimg style=\"display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; max-width: 100%;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.audioadvice.com\/media\/wysiwyg\/20-DSC07399.jpg\" alt=\"Back view of Marantz CINEMA 30\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"col_narrow\"\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"subhead margin\"\u003eProcessing Muscle\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Marantz CINEMA 30 has technology built into it that is usually only found in high-end separate processors. With its full array of 32-bit ESS Sabre DAC chips with built-in jitter reduction, these DAC chips feed the latest and most powerful Analog Devices SHARC dual DSP chipset. This complement of processors brings the CINEMA 30 much closer to the performance of Marantz’s flagship AV 10 separate reference processor. This level of processing power allows the CINEMA 30 to process all formats used in digital movies and music today and do so with accuracy and sound quality generally reserved for outboard DACs. Supported formats include DTS HD Master, DTS:X, DTS:X Pro, DTS Neural:X, DTS Virtual:X, and well as Dolby TrueHD, Dolby Atmos, Dolby Atmos Height Virtualization, Dolby Atmos Music, and Dolby Surround.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith the onboard processing and HDAM SA-2 preamplifier stage, you can fully customize how many speakers you will use in your system. You can use the 11 powered channels for an 11-channel speaker system, or if you want even more options, use the built-in 13.4 outputs and add a two-channel amplifier for the remaining two channels. Also, if you have a 5 or 7-channel speaker system, you can assign two other channels to bi-amp your main speakers if you wish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor music lovers, the CINEMA 30 has you covered there as well. The Sabre DACs have full support for FLAC and WAV lossless formats up to 24\/192kHz and DSD 2.8 or 5.6 MHz, all with gapless capability, which is important for many users. Marantz also includes its MDAX2 processing algorithm that will make your compressed MP3 files sound fuller and more like uncompressed audio.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor music streamers, the Marantz CINEMA 30 has you covered with support for HEOS multi-room and streaming, Airplay, Spotify Connect, Pandora, SiriusXM radio, and is ROON tested. You can stream from Amazon Music directly from the app or Tidal from the HEOS app as well.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"col_full\"\u003e\u003cimg style=\"display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; max-width: 100%;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.audioadvice.com\/media\/wysiwyg\/8-DSC07387.jpg\" alt=\"Black Marantz CINEMA 30 on a wooden desk with plants in the background\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"col_narrow\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"hp-title\"\u003eShould I Upgrade?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"subhead margin\"\u003eMarantz SR8015 vs Marantz CINEMA 30\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor those with an SR8015 wondering if they should upgrade to the CINEMA 30, we will give you the information to allow you to choose. While the amplifier sections are quite similar and put out the same power, the processing power has been upgraded. Top-of-class 32-bit ESS Sabre DACs are used in the CINEMA 30 over the SR8015’s older chips. These upgraded DACS promise more detail and realism from your music and movies while also supporting more formats. Also, the CINEMA 30 has 4 independent subwoofer outputs that are completely independently controlled, allowing much more flexibility in tuning and setting up multiple subwoofers for the best performance. This is compared to the SR8015’s one subwoofer output. This is a massive upgrade, as most of today’s home theaters run multiple subwoofers, and fine-tuning them individually can greatly improve the overall bass in your room.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn addition, while Audessey MultEQ Room Correction is included in the CINEMA 30 and SR8015, Marantz took the CINEMA 30 to the next level with full Dirac Live support. While adding Dirac Live is an additional cost, the performance gains with Dirac Live are hard to ignore over Audessey. From the more powerful speaker tuning capability to the Dirac Live Bass Control, having this ability will take the CINEMA 30’s performance to the next level. Having the ability to add Dirac Live Room Correction and Bass Control right away or in the future to the CINEMA 30 gives it a huge advantage over the SR8015.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAesthetically, the CINEMA 30 has also been upgraded with higher-quality exterior panels with much nicer textures for an upscale look.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"subhead margin\"\u003eMarantz CINEMA 40 vs Marantz CINEMA 30\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor those looking at both the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.audioadvice.com\/home-theater\/home-theater-components\/home-theater-receivers\/marantz-cinema-40-home-theater-receiver\"\u003eCINEMA 40\u003c\/a\u003e and the new flagship \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.audioadvice.com\/home-theater\/home-theater-components\/home-theater-receivers\/marantz-cinema-30-11-4-channel-home-theater-receiver\"\u003eCINEMA 30 \u003c\/a\u003eand wondering what the difference is, it will come down to the number of channels offered. While the CINEMA 40 provides 9 powered channels and 11.4 total preamp channels, including 4 subwoofer outputs, the CINEMA 30 has 11 powered channels and 13.4 total preamp channels. So, the growth potential is much higher in the CINEMA 30. Also, the CINEMA 40 puts out about 15 less watts of power into 2-channels. In addition, the CINEMA 30 uses a toroidal transformer whereas the CINEMA 40 uses an EI core transformer. The toroidal transformer radiates less noise, allowing the CINEMA 30 to have more detail and higher-resolution sound. There is the copper cladding in the chassis of the CINEMA 30 that the CINEMA 40 does not have, which will also improve performance. The 32-bit ESS Sabre DAC chips in the CINEMA 30 are also slightly higher performance than the CINEMA 40 chips. This will no doubt lower the digital to analog performance of the CINEMA 40, and while the CINEMA 40 is a leader in its price class, the CINEMA 30 is the receiver flagship for a reason. If you are the type of person who cares about the last bit of detail and sound quality in their AVR, then the CINEMA 30 would be a worthy upgrade over the CINEMA 40.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBoth of these include Audessey MultEQ XT32 Room Correction and support to add Dirac Live room correction and bass control.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"col_full\"\u003e\u003cimg style=\"display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; max-width: 100%;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.audioadvice.com\/media\/wysiwyg\/High--Marantz-Cinema-30-Silver-06.jpg\" alt=\"Silver Marantz CINEMA 30\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"col_narrow\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"hp-title\"\u003ePerformance Testing \u0026amp; Room Correction\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe were excited when we received the CINEMA 30 as it represents a true flagship receiver from Marantz. The packaging was well thought out, and unboxing was straightforward, allowing us to install it into our main review system quickly. We appreciate Marantz putting a hinged panel on the front, allowing all but the input and volume controls to be hidden, as most of what we did to set it up was done with the remote and on-screen menus.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe used the same \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.audioadvice.com\/bowers-wilkins-703-s3-3-way-floorstanding-loudspeaker\"\u003eBowers \u0026amp; Wilkins 703S3 tower speaker\u003c\/a\u003e system we loved with the CINEMA 40 with the accompanying Bowers \u0026amp; Wilkins center and surround speakers. We followed the same onscreen menus and setup procedures, including running Audessey to get the speakers and subwoofers tuned in.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhile we enjoyed this setup and it performed well, we then added Dirac Live room correction and bass control to see how much more we could fine-tune the system. After firing up and running Dirac's powerful suite of tools, the performance gains were really impressive!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt Audio Advice, we are huge fans of room correction, and Dirac is one of the very best there is. While it isn’t needed to get really great performance from any of the CINEMA series receivers, it’s a great option for those who may want to upgrade to it in the future or are looking to squeeze out every drop of performance from their gear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"col_full\"\u003e\u003cimg style=\"display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; max-width: 100%;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.audioadvice.com\/media\/wysiwyg\/High--Marantz-Cinema-30-NA-Black-04.jpg\" alt=\"Marantz CINEMA 40 on a wood credenza in front of a dark green wall\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"col_narrow\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt’s important you understand exactly how to use Dirac to make sure you are getting the most out of the software.

When you purchase from Audio Advice, we will send you our in-depth guide on how to set up and use Dirac Live, along with a custom Audio Advice room curve that our experts have created to ensure your receiver sounds the best it can in your room. Our guide will walk you through the entire process step by step and give some pro tips to make sure you’ve got it set up correctly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter all the setup was done, we jumped right into some movies. \"The Caves\" scene in \u003cem\u003eIndiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny\u003c\/em\u003e is a great movie scene to test AV Receivers as it has a good amount of action, and the underwater scene is also full of fantastic movie sound effects. The CINEMA 30 had no problem driving the Bowers \u0026amp; Wilkins speakers to room-filling levels and had plenty of amplifier power to spare. We were impressed with the added level of detail and finesse that the better DAC chips and processors allowed us to hear on this track.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNext, we fired up our 4K Bluray of \u003cem\u003eMad Max Fury Road\u003c\/em\u003e to test how the CINEMA 30 did with hard-hitting dynamic scenes. This movie showed us what Dirac Live could do in our system. The speakers were perfectly tuned to the room. The sound was spacious while being dynamic and full of realism. The CINEMA 30 had plenty of power for the dynamic scenes while keeping its composure and still giving us the sound that Marantz is known for.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf we had to nitpick anything, we would say that the warm and musical sound that is so inviting with Marantz products can make some dynamic movie scenes sound slightly subdued. However, this was a minor criticism as it only became noticeable on the most dynamic tracks. Having the 4 individual subwoofer outputs tuned with Dirac Live Bass Control gave us clean, dynamic bass that reached low and had a level of frequency balance that used to come only from a very high-end processor. We were amazed at how close the CINEMA 30 actually came to reaching the performance of Marantz’s own \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.audioadvice.com\/catalog\/product\/view\/id\/9659\/s\/marantz-av10-reference-15-4-channel-home-theater-pre-amplifier-processor\/category\/35\/\"\u003eAV 10\u003c\/a\u003e and \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.audioadvice.com\/home-audio\/components\/stereo-amps\/marantz-reference-16-channel-200-watt-per-channel-amplifier-amp10\"\u003eAMP 10\u003c\/a\u003e separate reference preamp processor and power amplifier.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith two-channel music, the CINEMA 30 had the same great warmth and musicality that is the hallmark of a Marantz product.
