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. =\

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? 

(1) No Apple product here, nor I am Apple fan. But I do eat Apple daily

(2) Listen-able for fun only. But certainly not HiFi quality. Sound like MP3 that lost the details. My ears especialy senstive to details...

(3) Never try Spotify

(4) USB work as I tried once... But I think asking about the USB length is the wrong question. The 'NA' mean Network Audio. The word, 'Network' mean using IP based solution. I personally prefer LAN over USB anytime. Normal LAN cable is limited to 100 meters to switch, which is sufficient for my small house. Just get a NAS and put everything there. Do all wiring. I found my NA8005 that only come with 100mbps LAN do not suffer quality playback issue.

With IP and NAS solution, then only you can enjoy its Web solution, android app etc.

Btw, music file is much smaller than movies. Get a 6 or 8 TB single NAS should be sufficient for music lower. However, if you want to mix with movies, dun buy anything less than 12TB.

Again, do make use of the 'NA', which mean all the IP function.

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.

May i ask, my marantz keep cut off power when high volume. But it only happen in surround setting, not in stereo. Do i need to send for repair? If yes, where should i go? Thank you.

Yes, its blink. Like 2 times per second.

Mine is SR6005. I hope only wire shock.. never try to remove rear speaker wire.. But i will do it. If still the same?

Wire shock probability is low

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?

Hey guys, I'm currently looking for an amp now.

http://www.superfi.co.uk/c-170-integrated-...Brand%7CMarantz

The PM7005 and PM8005 are on sale here in UK for RM2700 and RM3500 respectively (and superfi is an authorised reseller), just wanna ask is it worth the risk to buy it now and bring it back to Malaysia in 2 months time. And as I have no passive speakers here I can't test it at all, so it's just gonna sit here and if it's lemon unit then ggwp sayonara. Never purchased an amp like this before so I'm not quite sure if I should pay extra attention to this, although I've never used a single warranty on any electronics before.

Intend to pair it with ELAC B6 (plan to purchase in Malaysia as they are too heavy to carry back), and similar price can only get me PM6005 / 6006 in Malaysia, which many say is relatively weak to drive the power hungry B6.

Well just looking for opinions..

I drive my floorstanding speakers using PM6005. I think it has enough to power ELAC B6.

my 2 cents and if using rounding mechanism my 2 cents worth nothing.

I see what you did there with the joke.

It worries me a bit as a lot of people says the PM6005 is not powerful enough for floor standing speaker. Well I feel better. So not worth the risk and hassle after all.
