Frequently Asked Questions

Can the LINK 10n replace my preamplifier entirely?

Yes. The LINK 10n is a fully featured preamplifier with multiple analog and digital inputs, tone controls, and both fixed and variable outputs. It can serve as the complete control center for any high-end audio system.

Does it work with my existing amplifier?

Absolutely. While designed to pair beautifully with the Model 10, the LINK 10n's balanced XLR and unbalanced RCA outputs are compatible with any high-quality power amplifier or integrated amplifier with preamplifier inputs.

What makes the MMM DAC special?

Unlike conventional DAC chips, Marantz's proprietary MMM (Marantz Musical Mastering) system upsamples all digital audio to DSD256 before conversion using analog FIR filters in a Switched-Resistor Filter architecture. This fully discrete approach delivers exceptional transparency and the signature Marantz musicality.

Can I use it with my TV?

Yes. The HDMI ARC input with CEC support allows you to connect your TV and enjoy superior sound quality for all your viewing. Volume can even be controlled with your TV remote.

Is room correction available?

No. The LINK 10n focuses on signal purity and transparency rather than DSP-based room correction. For bass management, you can use the subwoofer output with an external crossover or room correction device if desired.
