Marantz NA8005


This has just been put up on the Marantz website and at $1199, it sounds like a steal. This is what I have been looking for to replace my laptop.
Main features of interest are :-
1. Front USB input for iPOD(redbook files) or memory stick for hirez files
2. Coax output to my non-DSD Esoteric K-01 digital input
3. DSD playback via back USB input
4. Analogue outputs to my preamp for DSD playback

Can't wait for a full review.

Jon2020,

When you mean "only usb flash drives plugged into the front or rear panel ports allow digital output", does internet streaming allow digital output to the k01?

Thanks
Jon,

Have you played with more setting and sources. Just to clarify.

The manual seems to state digital output can be used of all sources up to 24/96, be it usb, internet radio and all streaming etc. Anything higher resolution will not output from the digital out and will have to play from the analog out.

Cheers
