The Model 60n pairs Marantz's proprietary Current Feedback amplifier circuit with full HEOS network streaming, giving it the analog pedigree of the brand's purist amplifiers alongside built-in Wi-Fi and Ethernet connectivity. A fully discrete current-feedback design — used in both the preamp and power amp stages — delivers wide-bandwidth, high-speed reproduction well matched to high-resolution audio, conservatively rated at 60 watts per channel into 8 ohms, rising to 80 watts into 4 ohms (20Hz-20kHz, 0.02% THD), for compatibility with a wide range of speakers.
A built-in 24-bit/192kHz DAC handles digital sources, with a dedicated phono input, three RCA line-level inputs, optical and coaxial digital inputs, a USB-A input, and a single HDMI input rounding out the connections — there's no HDMI output or home theater bypass, so this is built as a dedicated stereo hub rather than a home theater front end. Bluetooth 4.2 works in receiver mode only, for streaming in from a phone or tablet.
An RJ-45 Ethernet jack handles a dependable wired connection, while built-in Wi-Fi (802.11ac, 2.4/5GHz with WPA2-PSK security) covers wireless setup. Either way you get HEOS built-in (Pandora, Amazon Music, TIDAL), TuneIn internet radio, Spotify Connect, Apple AirPlay 2, Roon Ready certification, and playback from a networked PC or DLNA server, all managed from the HEOS app. A single subwoofer output, stereo preamp outputs, and a 1/4" headphone jack complete the connections.
Q: What's the difference between the Model 60n and the Model 50?
A: The Model 50 is a purist amplifier with no networking, Bluetooth, or built-in DAC, while the Model 60n adds HEOS network streaming, Wi-Fi, a built-in DAC, and Bluetooth receiver mode, at a slightly lower power rating (60W vs. 70W per channel into 8 ohms).
Q: Does the Model 60n have a phono input?
A: Yes, it includes a dedicated phono input for a turntable.
Q: Can I connect a TV or Blu-ray player via HDMI?
A: There's one HDMI input, but no HDMI output or home theater bypass, so the Model 60n is built as a dedicated stereo hub rather than a full home theater front end.
Q: Does the Model 60n support Bluetooth for sending audio out to headphones?
A: No, Bluetooth 4.2 works in receiver mode only, for streaming audio in from a phone or tablet.
Q: Is the Model 60n Roon Ready?
A: Yes, it's Roon Ready certified in addition to HEOS built-in and Apple AirPlay 2.
