Greeting Marantz owners,
I'm looking to get Marantz M-CR612. The Spotify and Tidal features get my attention as I listen to online streaming alot in current days, though I have a few CDs to listen to too. May I know the user experience on this feature? Thanks. |

QUOTE(ktek @ Nov 25 2020, 04:54 AM) initial turn on, need some loading time & connect wifi by itself. Can connect via network cable? after that, speed is acceptable from app control speaker u can choose something cost double of this device. the result is more than average output from ppl would imagined  Choose speaker that costs double of this device... That would blow my budget. π I'm actually thinking about Dynaudio Emit M20 or Elac Debut DBR62. Would these speakers do justice to the receiver? Or maybe I should consider a cheaper option for the network receiver? |

QUOTE(ktek @ Nov 26 2020, 07:02 AM) haha just want to maximize its ability. myself very impressed. Impressed... That's the word I'm looking forπif u ok with elac tuning, try to aim unifi serie. near dbr cost with 3way crossover. receiver i guess there is no other choice to compete with marantz functions. unless at higher cost or bigger body Elac unifi U5 slim 3? Gona check out the reviews. I'm new in this so I don't have anyone to go to at where I stay(Kedah). Personally, Dynaudio speakers managed to get my attention but I have problem finding reviews online. Back to Elac unifi, is the speaker good for vocal and jazz? I read reviews of DBR62 saying that it is warm, which would sound like my headphone setup, I supposed. |

QUOTE(voscar @ Nov 26 2020, 07:10 PM) It's a mini radio afterall, don't compare with those pre/pro or integrated amplifier ya. Noted, bro.  Afterall, I'm new in this and I haven't been (and choose not to be) exposed to all the intergrated amplifiers yet. π Me look at the price of other higher end network receivers alsoπ΅π΅ |

QUOTE(ktek @ Nov 27 2020, 02:02 PM) prefer unifi with front bass port than the slim version rear port (not easy) I see. Based on the reviews I have read thus far, I would say unifi is a better performing speaker overall. overall size is still smaller than DBR. among ur headfi gear, which ATH u love the most? I love W1000 for the warm sound with both male and female vocals. But AD2000x outperforms it in terms of sound imaging and sound stage. It's hard to choose which is my favourite. π However, there's this W3000Anv that I have tried a few times and I would say it stays on the top of my list for ATH cans. QUOTE(gobiomani @ Nov 27 2020, 07:57 PM) Elac unifi needs lots of power. The MCR may not be a good choice. Can consider the Yamaha R-N803 as well if within your budget. Yamaha Musicast is able to stream from many sources like Spotify and tidal and its 100 Watts per channel at 8 ohms if I remember correctly. Thanks for the input. I shall dig into it later. @ktek, By the way, can CR612 be connected to an integrated amp? Let say if I have extra money one day and plan to upgrade the system. |

QUOTE(ktek @ Nov 28 2020, 01:21 AM) he got rca & headphone output, u may join other devices no problem. Good to hear that. Meaning I can also hook my headphone amplifier to it. now im streaming radio on mcr611 to monitor audio silver floorstanding set. very good separation by nature of 3 way crossover. Thanks for the reply and input. π |

QUOTE(ktek @ Dec 1 2020, 08:59 AM) bridge output = joining two amp channel (stereo) into one (mono) to drive difficult load. cooperating together. Ah I see. I thought the bridge parallel refers to the RCA output π³we frequently see this function in car audio. the original device got 2Left 2Right output for two pair of speakers. after u enable PBTL will make use of 2x2 amp channel to 1Left 1Right only no relation Dac or bypass amp haha Mind if I ask what speakers are you using? |
