    Marantz MCR-610 - Possible to Stream FLAC files?

    Nevermind - Figured out that it needed to be hard wired to the LAN in order for the FLAC files to work. Maybe something to do with the wireless speed?

    Marantz MCR-610 - Possible to Stream FLAC files?

    I'm hoping someone may be able to help me. I have recently setup a Marantz MCR610 and it seems to be working OK with most things.

    Hi all, I'm new to the forums and I don't consider myself very knowledgeable about Hi-Fis or anything audio related. In fact I'm completely new to this.I have recently purchased an Iphone 5 that now has a fair bit of my music on. I'm also quite into computers and have a large mp3 collection...
