New Marantz Model 30

I just received the Denon dcd 110 limited edition sacd player, compared with the oppo 103 it's s huge improvement. The Denon is very clean, highs are more real, you could say a velvet highs. The mids I thin is the better improvement, it gave s lot of body, more dense. The bass is very musical, it's strong and detailed without being boomy at all. In general s big soundstage, deep, tall and extended all around the speakers, they totally get lost in the soundstage. I wouldn't call forward or agressive in any way, just alive, real, gives you a sensation of intimacy with the music, very immersive. 

According to marantz the 30N will play dvd audio

" does anyone who has the unit or otherwise knows whether this unit will play dvd-r discs that you burn yourself.

stereo playback for SACDs, audio CDs, CD-Rs, CD-RWs, and DVD-Rs"

Yes, up to 192Khz/24bit PCM and DSD 128x files on DVD-R or RW discs.  

The specs don't list DVD-Audio discs, so I would presume it will not play them.

I have the 30N and it is superb sounding and easily worth the money. I have previously owned the SA8005, the ND8006 and the Denon DCD-1600NE.  

Mine arrived in early February and quit reading sacd’s last Thursday (April 29th). Help from Sound United has proven challenging. The 60 day return window is closed and now I’m left to send it to an authorized service center.

It’s sad to me that my 7, 8b, 10b and even my 19 continue to deliver 5 decades on and this lasts less than 3 months.

Until it started acting up, it sounded great to me. Even redbook cd’s sounded decidedly better to me, granted my last player was an ancient Nakamichi (that still functions flawlessly).

It appealed to me as an elegant solution for adding streaming and Bluetooth, in addition to spinning discs, to my vintage home system. So much so, that I’ve just purchased another to tide me over while this one gets repaired. Perhaps I’ll gift the older one to my son.
I’m curious if anyone else has experienced a similar problem?

thrive!

I have not had any problems with mine.  Really been enjoying it.  I also bought mine in February of this year I think.
