A growing number of listeners want serious two-channel performance without a rack full of components, but they also aren\u2019t necessarily willing to abandon CDs, vinyl, streaming or their television just to simplify the system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That has created an interesting opening between traditional integrated amplifiers and the new generation of streaming amps from Eversolo, WiiM and others. Marantz is jumping directly into that space with the new&nbsp;<strong>MCR 60n<\/strong>, a&nbsp;$1,000 compact all-in-one hi-fi system&nbsp;designed to handle both physical media and modern streaming without requiring consumers to build an entire stack of separate components. Marantz calls it its most capable compact music system to date.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>More importantly, the MCR 60n arrives at exactly the same $1,000 price as the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ecoustics.com\/reviews\/marantz-m1\/\">Marantz MODEL M1<\/a>, which raises an obvious question:&nbsp;does Marantz now have two very different answers for the same customer?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-related-reading\">Related Reading:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ecoustics.com\/reviews\/marantz-m1\/\">Marantz M1 Streaming Amplifier Review: Can This Compact All In One Replace Your Entire Hi-Fi System?<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ecoustics.com\/products\/eversolo-play\/\">Eversolo Play Network Amplifier Cracks A Paulaner At High End Munich\u2014Says \u201cHold My Beer\u201d To WiiM\u2019s Amp Ultra<\/a> <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"900\" height=\"375\"  itemprop=\"image\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ecoustics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/marantz-mcr-60n-front.jpg\" alt=\"marantz-mcr-60n-front\" class=\"wp-image-331616\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ecoustics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/marantz-mcr-60n-front.jpg 900w, https:\/\/www.ecoustics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/marantz-mcr-60n-front-768x320.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Marantz MCR 60n (front)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-marantz-mcr-60n-more-than-just-another-streaming-amplifier\">Marantz MCR 60n: More Than Just Another Streaming Amplifier<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>According to Marantz, the MCR 60n is its most capable compact music system to date.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Inside its durable and stylish chassis, the MCR 60n combines CD playback,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ecoustics.com\/ask-an-expert\/wtf-network-streamer\/\">network streaming<\/a>,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ecoustics.com\/ask-an-expert\/wtf-hdmi-arc-earc\/\">HDMI eARC<\/a> compatibility, turntable connectivity, and premium amplification designed to deliver Marantz sound quality without unnecessary user complexity. With amplification built in, all you need is a good pair of speakers and you are ready to go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.marantz.com\/en-us\/world-of-marantz\/most-musical-sound.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Tuned by the Marantz Sound Master<\/a>, the MCR 60n combines decades of hi-fi heritage with the latest streaming technologies in a single component.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Whether you are streaming hi-res music, playing discs from a CD collection, connecting a turntable, or upgrading your TV sound, the MCR 60n brings multiple sources together within one intuitive system designed to fit naturally into modern living spaces. Its compact footprint makes it equally suitable for a dedicated listening room, home office, bedroom, or living room, while Matte Black and Marantz Champagne Gold finishes provide two distinct design options. Champagne Gold, however, will not be available in North America.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-output-power-amp-speaker-configuration\">Output Power &amp; Speaker Configuration<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>To optimally support the Marantz sound, its new power supply is designed to provide greater current capability and increased amplifier headroom compared with older models. According to Marantz, this results in improved dynamics, stronger bass performance, and greater control across a wider range of loudspeakers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Output power has been increased to 65 watts per channel into 4 ohms, providing a substantial performance improvement over its predecessor while maintaining the warm, detailed, and emotionally engaging Marantz sound signature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With four channels of amplification, including&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ecoustics.com\/articles\/bi-wiring-bi-amping\/\">Bi-Amp<\/a>,&nbsp;Parallel Bridge-Tied Load (BTL), and dual speaker outputs, the MCR 60n allows users to optimize performance for different loudspeaker configurations or power two independent listening zones from a single compact amplifier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1280\" height=\"521\"  itemprop=\"image\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ecoustics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/marantz-mcr-60n-rear.jpg\" alt=\"marantz-mcr-60n-rear\" class=\"wp-image-331615\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ecoustics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/marantz-mcr-60n-rear.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/www.ecoustics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/marantz-mcr-60n-rear-768x313.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Marantz CD 60n (rear)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-content-access\">Content Access<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>For additional audio input flexibility, the MCR 60n also includes HDMI eARC. This allows easy integration with modern TVs, enabling high-quality stereo playback of TV sound while supporting HDMI-CEC volume control and Dolby Digital and Dolby Digital Plus decoding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Pro Tip:<\/strong>&nbsp;Keep in mind that Dolby Digital and Dolby Digital Plus are mixed down to two channels by the MCR 60n.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For vinyl enthusiasts, an included MM phono stage makes connecting a turntable easy, while a precision-engineered front-loading CD mechanism continues Marantz&#8217;s longstanding tradition of compact disc playback.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>High-resolution music streaming is supported with PCM up to 384kHz\/32-bit and DSD up to 11.2MHz, all powered by the latest&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ecoustics.com\/ask-an-expert\/heos\/\">HEOS networking platform<\/a>. Built around the latest generation of HEOS, the MCR 60n provides a faster, more intuitive setup experience, along with access to streaming services, internet radio, and whole-home multi-room audio.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Spotify, TIDAL, and Qobuz Connect are supported, along with AirPlay 2 and Roon Ready, giving users plenty of flexibility in how they choose to stream music wirelessly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Four customizable Smart Select presets provide instant recall of favorite sources, listening modes, and volume settings with a single press of a button on the remote control.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bluetooth functionality has also been expanded with both receive and transmit modes. This means you can send music from your phone to the MCR 60n or use wireless headphones to listen to music and TV content without disturbing anyone else.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"325\" height=\"1350\"  itemprop=\"image\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ecoustics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/marantz-mcr-60n-remote.jpg\" alt=\"marantz-mcr-60n-remote\" class=\"wp-image-331617\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-optimization-for-any-room\">Optimization for Any Room <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A configurable subwoofer output with adjustable crossover settings is provided for more precise low-frequency integration, while&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ecoustics.com\/news\/dirac-live-room-correction-denon-marantz\/\">Dirac Live Room Correction<\/a>&nbsp;is available as an optional upgrade for stereo playback. If users take advantage of that option, they can calibrate the system for their listening environment to improve imaging, tighten bass response, and achieve greater tonal accuracy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For added setup flexibility, variable audio outputs are also included. This allows the MCR 60n to function as a streaming preamplifier, making it equally suitable for driving active loudspeakers or integrating with existing Marantz components and vintage hi-fi systems. An Ethernet network port, USB input, optical digital input, and DAB tuner (Europe only) round out the feature set.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-mcr-60n-specifications\">MCR 60n Specifications<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><td><strong>Marantz Model<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>MCR60n<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Product Type&nbsp;<\/strong><\/td><td>All-in-One Hi-Fi System, Streaming Amplifier, Network Audio Player<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Price&nbsp;<\/strong><\/td><td>$1,000<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Number of Channels&nbsp;<\/strong><\/td><td>2 or 4<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Power Output<\/strong><\/td><td>2 x 65 W or 4 x 33 W&nbsp;<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>CD Compatibility&nbsp;<\/strong><\/td><td>CD \/ CD-R\/RW \/ WMA \/ MP3&nbsp;<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Tuner<\/strong><\/td><td>FM \/ AM (US)<br \/>DAB \/ DAB+ (Europe)<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Network audio streaming&nbsp;<\/strong><\/td><td>Yes<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Streaming Support<\/strong><\/td><td>Spotify Connect \/ TIDAL \/ Deezer \/ Amazon Prime Music \/ Pandora&nbsp;<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>AirPlay 2&nbsp;<\/strong><\/td><td>Yes&nbsp;<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Roon Ready&nbsp;<\/strong><\/td><td>Yes&nbsp;<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Internet Radio&nbsp;<\/strong><\/td><td>TuneIn&nbsp;<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>HEOS Multiroom and Streaming&nbsp;<\/strong><\/td><td>Yes&nbsp;<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Bluetooth&nbsp;<\/strong><\/td><td>Yes &#8211; Includes AptX<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Bluetooth Headphone Transmission&nbsp;<\/strong><\/td><td>Yes<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>USB Audio<\/strong><\/td><td>DSD \/ WAV \/ FLAC \/ AIFF \/ ALAC&nbsp;<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Lossy formats&nbsp;<\/strong><\/td><td>MP3 \/ WMA \/ AAC&nbsp;<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Lossless formats&nbsp;<\/strong><\/td><td>DSD \/ WAV \/ FLAC \/ AIFF \/ ALAC&nbsp;<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Gapless Playback&nbsp;<\/strong><\/td><td>Yes (FLAC, WAV, DSD)&nbsp;<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Dirac Live Upgradability&nbsp;<\/strong><\/td><td>Yes&nbsp;<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Tone Control<\/strong><\/td><td>Bass \/ Treble \/ Balance<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Low Noise OLED display<\/strong><\/td><td>3&nbsp; line<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Clock&nbsp;<\/strong><\/td><td>Yes &#8211; with programmable timer and sleep timer<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Audio Inputs<\/strong><\/td><td>1 x Analog<br \/>1 x Digital Optical<br \/>1 x HDMI-eARC<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Audio Outputs<\/strong><\/td><td>1 x Analog&nbsp;<br \/>1 x Subwoofer<br \/>1 x Main\/Preout (AUX Assignable)<br \/>1 x Headphone&nbsp;<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Speaker Outputs<\/strong><\/td><td>Screw Type Terminals<br \/>Speaker A\/B with individual volume control<br \/>Bi-amp<br \/>Parallel BTL<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Freq.

It delivers 60 watts per channel into 8 ohms and offers the kind of interface and feature set that has made Eversolo one of the fastest-moving brands in this category.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And here is where Marantz has to earn the extra $201.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The MCR 60n offers <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ecoustics.com\/ask-an-expert\/wtf-hdmi-arc-earc\/\">HDMI&nbsp;eARC<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ecoustics.com\/ask-an-expert\/heos\/\">HEOS<\/a>, AirPlay 2, Roon Ready support, Bluetooth transmit and receive capability, Dolby Digital and Dolby Digital Plus decoding, and optional Dirac Live. It also carries a name that has been sitting in hi-fi racks for more than <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ecoustics.com\/articles\/house-of-marantz-70th-anniversary\/\">70 years<\/a>, which still matters to a lot of consumers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But purely on features and price?&nbsp;Eversolo is not going to make this easy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For buyers who want the touchscreen, CD ripping capability and maximum functionality for the money, the Play CD Edition looks very difficult to ignore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-the-bottom-line\">The Bottom Line<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Marantz has clearly noticed two things: compact streaming amplifiers are everywhere, and CDs have stubbornly refused to disappear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The new&nbsp;<strong>Marantz MCR 60n<\/strong>&nbsp;is the company\u2019s $1,000 answer to both trends, combining a front-loading CD player, HEOS network streaming, HDMI eARC, an MM phono stage, USB and optical inputs, subwoofer connectivity and 65 watts per channel into 4 ohms inside one compact chassis. Optional Dirac Live Room Correction is also part of the package, and the MCR 60n can even operate as a streaming preamplifier with active loudspeakers or an existing hi-fi system.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"900\" height=\"695\"  itemprop=\"image\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ecoustics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/marantz-mcr-60n-angle-top.jpg\" alt=\"marantz-mcr-60n-angle-top\" class=\"wp-image-331618\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ecoustics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/marantz-mcr-60n-angle-top.jpg 900w, https:\/\/www.ecoustics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/marantz-mcr-60n-angle-top-768x593.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Marantz MCR 60n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>That makes this considerably more interesting than another streaming amplifier with an app and a Class D output stage. Marantz is effectively betting that there is still a large group of listeners who stream Qobuz or TIDAL, watch television through HDMI eARC, own a turntable, and have a shelf full of CDs that they have absolutely no intention of throwing away. Considering where the market is going, that does not feel like a particularly risky wager.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And then things get slightly awkward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The MCR 60n costs&nbsp;<strong>exactly the same $1,000 as the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ecoustics.com\/reviews\/marantz-m1\/\">Marantz MODEL M1<\/a><\/strong>, one of our favorite compact streaming amplifiers and an Editors\u2019 Choice winner earlier this year. The M1 offers considerably more amplifier power, but no CD player and no phono stage. The MCR 60n gives up some horsepower and responds with considerably greater source flexibility.
