QUOTE(ccschua @ Mar 13 2016, 09:36 PM) Dorrect me here. To stream music, prefer method is network dlna or minim server. Then use ipad or android and download the apps which comes with app to catalog the audio or video files to play. Did i miss something ? Does network cable matters, i am using bluejeans cat 6a with test reports Yes correct

QUOTE(everclear @ Apr 18 2016, 01:34 PM) Ah. Sorry for the confusion. I am new to hi-fi. I just bought B&W 685 S2 yesterday and I'll be receiving it in 1-2 months. After that I'll be hunting for amp. Edit: Just checked out the Elac B6 review. Seems like super value for money. Too bad I just pulled the trigger on the 685 yesterday. =\ You won't regret with B&W

QUOTE(SSJBen @ May 4 2016, 01:29 AM) If a speaker's tweeter is made of turd, then the highs and imaging will still be shit regardless of whatever $10,000 cable you use. Stop the snake oil cable bs please. Yes I know I'm going to make some people's feathers angry. Agree with you. The weakest link will be the weakest no matter what. Saying this is to clarify not to say speaker cable is useless. Of course a 10k cable will have to compliment 100k speakers to make it right. No point putting a 10k cable on a 1k speaker

QUOTE(everclear @ May 13 2016, 10:26 PM) Checked out the site, it seems that PM6006 comes with 2 optical input compared to just 1 optical input on the PM6005. Price is hkd 4000, which is around hkd 1000 cheaper than the PM6005 in hk. Quality: Unknown but those guys seem impressed. Comparison against PM6005 is also not done. =\ How do these guys get their hands on the unit before it's even launched? Good that there's finally a PM6006, but when will it reach here?  Few months later

QUOTE(everclear @ May 14 2016, 07:03 AM) Which could mean anything from 3 months (super optimistic) to 9-12 months (worst case scenario) since it's not even officially launched yet... I wonder if I should buy the PM6005 first (my new 685S2 is ready to be collected) and then trade-in when the PM6006 reaches our shore. The PM6006 is likely to be a better amp given Marantz's track record at improving their 6000 series amp time after time. Would lose some money... =\ Maybe wait for one month to see how things go (can call up the distributor to ask I supposed). this should give me some time to re-think a system that's ideal for my budget. Give roksan a try and you might like it

QUOTE(everclear @ May 16 2016, 07:02 AM) I've tried K2 & K3 amp/CD combo. Really nice indeed.  Problem is no digital input (besides the blue tooth) and most importantly out of my budget. =\ Yeah is better to work within budget

QUOTE(bryanyz @ May 17 2016, 01:21 AM) yaya, my main concern is how the quality steaming by airplay. as most of my music files are managed by iTunes. if the airplay quality is same with using a NAS storage then i will prefer to stream by airplay. i owned a nas 4TB currently, not all files are lossless, some album i like i will get lossless. or else i will just stick to 320kbps or 256kbps to save space. The nas is able to iTunes sharing, but it cannot make smart playlist to sync into my phone and iPad. so mainly my music files are still in my computer. Generally anything wireless will degrade the quality. Period.

QUOTE(atih007 @ May 25 2016, 04:14 PM) I tried disconnect rear cable. Seems like no more power cut off. Will do more testing.  If really the cable, what should i do? Should i replace the whole rear cable? Just replace the cable. Normal speaker cable is very cheap

QUOTE(TenNix @ Jun 1 2016, 07:01 AM) Yeah 6005+685S2 is my first choice now. Even if the UK PM6005 have any problem in future, no need headache as its not as costly. Maybe can take it as an opportunity to upgrade heh. Good choice

QUOTE(TenNix @ Jun 2 2016, 04:46 PM) I use the line out though, not sure if it affects.. Out of topic anyway :/ Well if OPPO hpa2 is what you going to use than is good try out and it seems does not suit you for KEF. I am sure there is a lot of speakers that can pair with marantz well. Even the q acoustic is listen before pairing with marantz and is good
