    Sonos Connect or Mini Mac

    Not sure if I've missed something here - but I can confirm that Sonos does support Qobuz and Tidal (and Spotify). I used to run all three until MrsG saw how much all the subs were costing! I think the app works fine - best feature is that you can search across all services at once and build...

    Marantz NA6005 - Benefits?

    Hi - not sure if I can answer all your questions, but I'll do the best I can... I think the NA6005 and amp PM6005 would work well for what you want. You could stream all your mp3s from an ipad via itunes, but I think your best option would be to store your music on a NAS (network attached...

    Network music player basics

    I'd say it depends on your priorities. I'm a big fan of Sonos and have a Connect hooked up to a PM6005 and Focal Aria 906s via digital coax and I think it sounds great. I also have a Playbar, which sounds good for what it is (don't have a sub) but is really convenient. Among others, Qobuz sell...
