This is not what I'm looking for. I don't want a separate bluetooth/DAC as the amp will already have a good quality DAC. What I want to know is it possible to add something like a luetooth dongle/antena/receiver to work with integrated amp's DAC? Is there anyone who did this with, perhaps, the...

Thanks for reply. I own 3020 speakers not 3050. I've read around the internet that Marantz integrated amps and Q Acouustics speakers make a nice pair. Will find out soon.

I have an opportunity to grab a second hand, year old Marantz PM7005 for a fair price. I will pair it with Q Acoustics 3020 and Project debut carbon. One thing I want to make sure before buying is - what would be the most convenient way of adding a bluetooth adapter so it would work with 7005's...

Thanks for the replies all. I suppose that I shouldn't worry too much then.. If I get a UK amp then I'll just get a convrter. I think those voltage oscilations are normal, but I'll definitelly try to measure mine, just in case.. Cheers!

Hello everyone. If I were to buy an amplifier online from UK, what would it take to make it go into a standard EU wall outlet? The amp model would be Yamaha a-s500 or a-s501. As I can see these amps don't have a detachable power cable, so I was wondering is there a painless and cheap solution to...

After hours of research I think I should go for an amp that has no DAC. Please let me know what you think. Why do I want a hi-fi setup and what for? Primarily for listening to my vinyls (hopefully via Rega RP1 or Pro-ject Debut III), and this is where I want as much sound quality as my budget...

@gasolin Thanks for posting those links. I've already stumbled upon the thread on the av forums, and the review on the richer sounds confirms the conclusion that user liamgdr there came to - Marantz is a better option. Yamaha has more watts in the bag but that's not my priority. I prefer...

The Yamaha a-s501 was also a recommendation from a hi-fi store manager in my town. I've been reading and reasearching around the internet to see who's wininng in the pm6005 vs a-s501 duel, and my impression is that people prefer Marantz more than the Yamaha. Although things get really...

lordsquirrel thank you for pointing that out! I was very confused when I read the What hi-fi review of 9010 and it said that there is no DAC, while the Onkyo website says that it's got one. I didn't realize there were two versions of the amp... That indeed brings me to PM6005. Do you have any...

Thanks for the suggestion. But I believe that those exceed my budget possibilities, even on second hand market. But I will have my eyes open because they seem packed with functionalities and probably sound great as well. Cheers

Hello everyone! I've been hanging around this forum for quite some time now and you guys have been immensely helpful. A huge thank you for that! But I would be very greatful for some more advice and thoughts. So, I'm in the process of setting up a basic hi-fi turntable home setup. I've...
