no budgets to upgrade. maintain as is

Hello guys!

Time flies! 2024 is going to end soon.
I am still a Marantz user. How's yours?
Last year I had added an Eversolo DMP-A6 Master Edition start to listen digital music. USB out to Marantz NA-11S1 with good result. The A6 internal DAC is not bad, but the old NA-11S1 just give more bloom in term of timbre. I would say used NA-11S1 is a bargain now vs it's SQ. Very worth getting if you looking for VFM DAC.

Wishing you guys happy listening with good health!

Cheers!

The eversolo is too much of digital glare

Too bad it doesn't match well with your system. Luckily there is plenty of choice nowadays in the market to choose from. Don't give up.

Bro I thought you already have top of the line Innuos streamer

I also wish 😝 but on more serious note. The Innous is also a disappointment

What DAC is it connected to?

Hey guys,

As a long term marantz user, I am particularly fond on KI tweaked model as I find it sound a little bit more into my liking compared to non KI. That's the reason I can't part with my old KI tweaked CD6000 KI and PM66SE KI.

Lately I came across an used PM66SE KI, oh my, such a wonderfull sounding amp, with its asking price which I couldn't resist and had to buy it own it. Now I have 2 exactly same amp. What's next?

Two ways to play around with them, 1) Use them as mono block, one amp per side; 2) Use as bi-amp, one amp for low, one for high.

Option 1 is easy. Option 2 how to configure two identical stereo int amps without any pre out and power in sockets? What I did is connect up either tape out 1 or 2 output from one amp to another amp any source input then both amps receive same signal. That's all they are ready to bi-amp any bi-wireable speaker. Connect one amp remote control out socket to another amp remote control in socket to synchronize both amp vol level adjustment.

Either way, I found it a very cost effective upgrade. Overall playback is more ease without sacrifice tonality.

bi-amp clan nice trick@ remote out RCA
