For stereo amp, I think no need warranty...

Can anyone vouch for the Marantz PM8006?

I was reading this review - https://www.thehifiguide.com/marantz-pm8006-review/

and im kind of leaning towards buying it. I have had Marantz products before which is why im preferring this brand. Should I go with the PM8006, or is there a better option for around the same price?

the article doesn't seem balanced, more like hard sell. it mentions weak bluetooth but how is bluetooth used in this amp?

this guy is supposedly a fair reviewer, but he is also long winded

Currently what amp you using? Suggest you audition a few more brand such as Rega Elex-R, Cambridge Audio CXA80 or CXA81, NAD C388 before you decide.

Has anyone ever compared Marantz CD player eg cd6006 to a bluray player eg pioneer bdp-180 on the analogue output when playing CD?

I’m curious what differences can be heard.

crystal clock.
audio player focus 44.1khz main & support other frequency for high res.
video player focus 48khz main & the rest r same.

marantz usb port playback is not good quality

thanks for the response. i'm still not sure if i should buy a dedicated cd player.

but in my system i'm quite sure playing cd, although with bluray player, sounds better than playing hires flac files.

interesting comment about the usb port poor audio quality. for my yamaha r-n803, i realised the usb port is not good also.

i have to use the usb port of bluray player and optical out to the yamaha receiver for better sound. quite troublesome and also strange.

i use Dlna bit stream to same device, result is improved over usb high res flac & bluetooth Aac.
just realize this month

I bet CD6006 will be better in RBCD and also USB playback too due to its dedicated sound only design

Dedicated CD player is definitely better than using BD player. Playing hi-res the key thing is the dac. Is not about the USB port. I had been playing hi-res for long time and I am very sure it can be same quality as CD

Yeah that’s why still browsing for dedicated player. But I need to make sure it doesn’t sound worse than my bd player digital out to receiver with ess 9006 dac. Otherwise waste money.

Are you still using a cd player now? What model?
