Marantz LINK10N 2.1Ch Streaming Pre-Amplifier (Black)
56,173.95 AED Includes 5% UAE VAT
The Marantz LINK10N is an uncompromising, luxury streaming preamplifier handcrafted at the prestigious Shirakawa Audio Works in Japan. Weighing an astonishing 33 kg (73 lbs)—an unprecedented weight for a component containing no power amplifiers—it is built within a massive, copper-plated triple-layer aluminum chassis. The internal architecture uses isolated sub-enclosures to physically wall off the sensitive analog preamplifier boards from high-frequency digital streaming noise. It operates on a fully differential, complementary balanced circuit topology from input to output to maintain absolute signal purity.

Key Features
- Marantz Musical Mastering (MMM-Conversion): Bypasses commercial DAC chips. The system’s custom dual-SHARC DSP engine “upsamples everything to DSD 256 before running it through a low-pass filter” to output a pure analog waveform.
- Dual Toroidal Power Supplies: Employs two massive, independent toroidal power transformers—one purely handling the digital boards and streaming clocks, and the other feeding the delicate analog line stages.
- Next-Gen HDAM Analog Stage: Replaces integrated circuit op-amps entirely. It leverages the absolute latest, fully differential iteration of Marantz’s discrete Hyper Dynamic Amplifier Modules (HDAM).
- HEOS® Built-In & Roon Ready: Runs natively on the high-resolution HEOS streaming ecosystem, supporting direct integration with TIDAL Connect, Spotify Connect, and Apple AirPlay 2.
- Marantz Premium Phono EQ: Features a studio-grade, fully isolated internal phono preamplifier stage “supporting both MM and MC cartridges” with customizable Moving Coil impedance settings.
- High-Resolution Color TFT Display: Relies on a wide, full-color front panel screen to elegantly render high-definition album art, track details, and hardware menu settings.
Applications
- Flagship 10 Series System Hub: Functions as the master high-resolution digital streamer, DAC, and analog volume front-end fed directly into the MODEL 10 amplifier.
- Purist 2.1-Channel Soundstage: Incorporates a dedicated, variable analog subwoofer pre-out to integrate stereo floor speakers with an active sub.
- Audiophile TV Entertainment: Features an isolated, jitter-controlled HDMI eARC input to integrate high-end physical speaker setups with modern television sound stages.
