Marantz Cinema Serie 2: AV-Receiver mit 32-Bit-Acht­kanal-DAC und neuen Funktionen https://www.computerbase.de/news/audio-video-foto/marantz-cinema-serie-2-av-receiver-mit-32-bit-achtkanal-dac-und-neuen-funktionen.98732/ #Marantz

I should really document this setup.
Playing music with #MusicPlayerDaemon on my #Marantz controlled through a #VT420, both from around 1990.
Software is #MPD on #Debian on an #RPi 2. Soundcard is some cheap old usb Soundblaster, but using #lirc I can control MPD using its controller.
This all took some effort. 😌

So I have been using #Spotify with #HEOS on my #Marantz SR6015 surround receiver for years, and it's been working flawlessly. Since Spotify is kinda evil and bad we moved to #Tidal instead, which also supports HEOS - either via Tidal Connect or directly from the HEOS app.

About a month in I have discovered that unlike Spotify, my receiver is not super happy about Tidal Connect. Once my receiver crashed outright, but usually it just kinda slowly breaks until playing music on the receiver doesn't work at all and you need to cut the power.

Using the HEOS app to launch Tidal might work better and it even works after Tidal Connect breaks down completely, so I'm inclined to blame Tidal (although it's on the receiver that I need to pull the plug).

All in all, I'm not super satisfied.

AUDIOPHILE MAN - HiFi REVIEW
Minimalist looks, modern brains. The Marantz M1 fits anywhere yet talks to everything — TV, streamer, server. Clean, agile sound, versatile as they come.

To setup a #heos home speaker it seems an internet uplink AND a heos account is required.

Das wird bestimmt für gesunden Wettbewerb sorgen.

And that also means, that this should work for every #marantz product with these connections. My amplifier is already 20 years old, but also new products still feature these. That means, that this should function for all these devices and could change them all to wifi-controlled devices. And without being dependent on remote apps.

Starting around autumn, I have been working on making my 'dumb' #marantz stereo amplifier smarter, by connecting the remote controller input to a #raspberrypi #pico

Mal was gaaanz anderes... #Kophörer. Habe die Tage mal lossless über meine 30 Jahre alten #AKG's, an den #Marantz angestöpselt/Tidal/wiim/flac, gehört.

Enttäuschung.

Möglichkeit 1: Sie klingen wirklich shice. Wenn ja warum? Membranen auf?

Möglichkeit 2: Mein Hören hat sich verändert durch die Nutzung von In-Ears.

Jemand 'nen Gedanken/Erfahrungen?

Repairing a 35-yo #Marantz PM-55 amplifier. I wish all electronic devices were as easy to service. There is a removable plate on the bottom of the enclosure for direct access to the track side of the main PCB. This is a nice addition, probably increasing manufacturing costs but making my life much easier.

The service manual is detailed with expected idle voltages at almost any point of the circuit. There was a numbering error on the schematics on the automute IC pins but this is a minor detail.
