In need of some inspiration? Read a whathifi review. The website where audio racks lack "authority" and add "a boomy character" to your receiver that clearly needs to be "mechanically disconnected" first, to sound "forward" and "convincing".

Rock on, Gene. The higher you get the more people want to see you fall. Please don't give in to the negativity. I know that's hard and I don't practise what I preach. I ran a very popular gaming website back in the day and I wrote an article for you the other day. So I know all about the stress...

It won't run on Roku, but otherwise, give JRiver a whirl.. Especially with their accompanied app JRemote. It's got more than enough tagging options and has a nice theater view for album art and what not. It has a small learning curve but if you set it up in audio only mode it shouldn't be too hard.

Personally, I would have liked to see a review of iTunes or perhaps Windows Media Player to go along with those software packages reviewed in the article. I never heard of most of them (no pun intended). How do they compare to software most people know and what do these software package add to...

I think Queen's Innuendo deserves a place here too. Or at the very least A Kind of Magic.

I started using Plex a couple of days ago and I love it. I can't really fault it so far, except perhaps my mac currently doesn't playback HD ISO files correctly. I love the add-ons, especially the Apple Trailers and YouTube. Some add-ons work better than others, though. So far I haven't managed...

I'd take that Queen DVD with 5.1, DTS 24 bit 96khz over anything else I've heard so far. Come and blind test at my place, Corey... I'm buying. :cool:

Us, as in Bose? Or us as in Audioholics forum users? Neither apply in this case.

I've got a MacBook Pro using iTunes, hooked up via optical cable to my Marantz AV7005. I'm curious if this DAC will provide a sound improvement in my case? To be honest, I don't notice a lot of difference listening this way, compared to AirPlay.... Except sometimes, using Airplay, it ticks...

Lol Tom! Normally you go overboard with your rants. This, however, is spot-on and golden! The soundbar and Bose are sadly omitted, come to think of it.

Very nice article! A fun read. Keep up the good work.

Hey guys and girls, On January 6 Denon and Marantz released their long awaited Apple Airplay upgrade. I wrote a review for Audioholics shortly afterwards, but somehow I got caught up with life and didn't submit changes Gene wanted me to do. So anyway, it's not world shocking news or anything...

Is it too much to ask to hope for such an update for the SR7005 / AV7005 from Marantz? That would be sweet!

Marantz's en Denon's new Airplay feature / upgrade allow you to stream from an iPad / iPhone / iTunes without an issue. I'm installing this update as we speak. I'll come back soon to review.

My God, they are ugly! Looks like a toilet turned 90 degrees. Thanks for the review though! Much appreciated.

Ok, here are my €0.02. Note the Euro sign, so it might be just one cent tomorrow. I'm sorry in advance if it's n00b advice to you; just trying to help out. - Check EQ settings. Turn any / all EQ-ing off - Check mute and /or ATT settings (if any). Some receivers allow you to set mute to a...

Lol! Yes, you can turn the juvenile blue neon light off. Goes for SR7005, AV7005, MM7055 and MM7025. I like my juvenile light set in "Juvie-mode". Yet, despise all my flaws, I'm an everlasting teenager at 27. :cool:

I've bi-amped my fronts for about two years. Nowadays I'm not bi-amping anymore, ever since I got the MM7055. I can't say I've noticed a difference. :) I'm not sure what you mean by separating the center. You mean running the center solo through the MM7025? Seems like a waste of amp to me :)...

Hey Steve, MM7055 AND a MM7025? I'm turning green here, buddy. That's awesome! I would definitely run the fronts with the MM7055 since it has more capacitance (uF storage capacity) available! I'd use the MM7025 for the rears. Ideally, you can bi-amp the Fronts and use the last available...

Hey Davede, Did you already place your order? It's worth a try negotiating the price with the people at Stassen when you buy multiple items. I suspect they get a rather good profit selling Phonars. As far as pairing Phonar with Marantz, I can only say I'm very happy with it. People say a...
