I am potentially looking for a second system for a medium sized room in my house and wondered if anyone has a view on what level to pitch it at? My main system is a Linn Akurate DSM and I am pretty happy with it in all (long time Linn owner).
The likelihood is that I won't go to that level with a second system and instead will probably look at something like Marantz amp and (possibly) streamer but have a couple of questions for those of you familiar with their stuff: Room is approx 15 x 15 and will be using Tidal and NAS as a source over Powerlines. Speakers will be MA Silver 1's.
1 - If I go for a PM6006/NA6005 setup - anyone experience of quality and sound? I understand that the app is bobbins but I can use Bubble UPnP instead so not a deal breaker.
2 - Is the PM6006 a big step forward from the 6005 or would I be best served going for the older model at less cost?
3 - Anyone know if it's possible to 'multi room' Marantz streamers if I ever added another?
4 - The PM6005/6 seem to be the sweet spot in the range, particularly as the 6006 has the DAC integrated too but is the 7005 and 8005 significantly better an option?
Here's a million dollar one - if I added in a dedicated DAC how far away from high end quality does that make Marantz stuff at significantly less cost?
Thanks in advance - I know there are a few Marantz users on here so any insights would be greatly appreciated.
