I haven't been able to test yet, I moved my stuff around and speakers started to buzz a bit. I will investigate and solve that first and let know here in case anyone cares 🤣

Hey all! So, qobuz connect arrives next week!.. which is a long time behind competition. To that effect, I bought a Wiim ultra earlier this year as it has a USB out, so I can plug it to my DAC. Now what I wonder, will it be worth taking the node out of the closet and put it back in the flow...

Right, well, what I really want is to have the simplest experience when using the system, whether it is to listen to music, play game or watch TV. I used to have one remote for the amp, one for the tv, and then depending on the device, another one... With current ARC setup, it's one remote, plus...

So, no reply, I guess I might not be asking the right question? Looking for a small integrated amp to connect stereo speakers (ELAC Debut 6.0). What I'm trying to do is to connect TV, PS5, Switch, turntable and have music streaming (Qobuz), and less remote controls. The setup I have which...

Hi all! A few months in and still love the Marantz' PM6007! Such good advice - decided to come back for a new question. I have a Tv in the living room connected via eArc with a Sony AV. I also have a turntable connected there, and the speakers are Elac debut 6.0. All is great, because of arc...

Every once in a while, while streaming from Qobuz, highest streaming quality I can now get, it will play something I have on vinyl. When it happens, I usually feel the need to replay back and forth vinyl and Qobuz... So far, I never felt Qobuz to be up to par with the vinyl sound - to my ear...

St. Alfonso' pancake breakfast - Frank Zappa. Although the song (full album in fact) is mind-boggling, the recording is incredible if your kit is up to it.

I agree, maybe I express myself wrong. I have heard some cases where CD sound better than their Vinyl counterpart, but in most cases I prefer what I get out of vinyl. It could be due to the fact my turntable is very good compared to my CD player; or just because of emotional attachment to vinyl...

On Marantz pm6007, with the Elac debut 6, the bass is pretty good. Maybe it depends on combination, or maybe I just don't have a good reference :)

Alright, a few days plug & replug, quite tedious, what with the grounding and all... So really more based on "feeling" than A/B. Still, every time, I swear I would be able to do a blind test. The Cambridge Audio CP2 sounds good, but the Marantz' is obviously superior in that: - it will pick...

Ah, for creating and mixing, I wouldn't know. One thing I learned in my process is that my speakers were able to provide bass, but not my amp. Just changing the amp brought all the oomph and bass tightness I was looking for, plus many other benefits. I would be tempted to go back to what...

I have 3 feet Fospower interconnects, pretty decent. I also have a 1-foot interconnect between DAC and amp for the Bluesound node, which is a higher quality - maybe I could switch them to see if I hear a difference (didn't think of that). Will let you know! I was thinking also of selecting...

Hi! I ordered a kind of RCA splitter because the time between switching is too long for me to be accurate. But I didn't receive it yet (lost in mail it seems). Still, I gave it a shot, and what I think I can hear as a difference is: - all imperfections seem much more obvious on Marantz '...

This is the best question of the thread I think. It depends on room size, usage, current setup, etc. Plenty of articles on topic around, I know I don't need one 😁 I assume OP already figured a sub is really needed ..?

This. I mainly listen to hires streams, once in a while CDs (those i can't find anymore and did not extract yet). But once in a while, I'm in a mood for a vynil ritual 😁 Concerning SQ, I agree it is subjective; I wouldn't say it is better than digital, but different, yes. Whatever this...
