    Marantz M-CR510 experience

    Can anyone confirm that it does gapless playback from a NAS? Is the GUI a bit quicker and has it stopped doing that thing where it virtually stops responding when it has just changed track? I am disappointed about the finish perhaps if we wait long enough they will come out with an SE or KI...

    Marantz MCR 603 versus Denon Ceol Piccolo *Gapless*

    Sorry can't be much help with that. I know it won't support a hard drive only a memory stick. The problem I have right now is that the only memory stick I have with any space on it has gone AWOL :cry:. Sorry I didn't spot this post before.

    Marantz MCR 603 versus Denon Ceol Piccolo *Gapless*

    Thanks for the feedback. Looking at the Denon I don't think the Amp is as good as the Marantz (well it is certainly no better) so potentially limiting my speaker options if I decide to upgrade these before the source. This will also avoid the “you’ve only just changed that why do you want to...

    Marantz MCR 603 versus Denon Ceol Piccolo *Gapless*

    I currently have the Marantz MCR 603 which I am very happy with the sound quality but despite saying on this very forum that the lack of gapless playback didn't bother me, well after a year it does! As a number of the other Marantz units have had gapless firmware upgrades I enquired as the...

    Q For WHF: AKG Q701 Pricing

    Has anyone bought anything from "Great Bargain Music" http://www.great-bargain.com/index.asp They have Q701s at £229.89 but I can't find out anything about them, the website that is.

    Marantz MCR603

    Don't talk to me about routers! My aging D-Link Router up until 6 months ago had one laptop connecting to it and the occasional Wii connection. But in the last 6 months it has had an Internet Radio (via Powerline), another laptop (wireless), NAS (wired), MCR 603 (wired) added and basically I...

    Marantz MCR603

    I got an MCR 603 around Christmas and am mainly using it with a NAS ZyXEL NSA310 (see note below about track order) and its built-in UPNP/DLNA for FLAC music. Generally I am extremely pleased with it I do sometimes notice that there are issues around browsing speed but I think this may be more...

    Marantz MCR603, Onkyo TX8050 or CA NP30?

    Thanks Mr. Iceman I think that covers it. When I get home I will draw a picture. Am planning to replace my aged Marantz CD-63 and PM-44 SE Amp keeping my Tannoy Mercury M2s until budget allows for upgrading. At the moment I am mostly ripping CD collection to FLAC having spent the best part of...

    Marantz MCR603, Onkyo TX8050 or CA NP30?

    Hi Hope nobody minds me piggy backing on to this to ask if someone who has an MCR 603 can tell me how far inboard the feet are. What I am trying to establish is how deep a shelf is needed to put it on or conversely how narrow a shelf I can I put it on, obviously with an overhang. I have seen...
