The Marantz Pipeline

Hello Nonoise,
I read your review on that amp and enjoyed it; I found it very informative.

You wrote the best line I ever read about an amp, and I'm paraphrasing: " this amp excavates music; it needs a permit." Outstanding.

The plan right now is saving up for two, which I plan to bi-amp with my B&W 805's.

I will ask my local dealer if he's heard anything about what's coming down the road; glad you're enjoying your PM-15S2B.

Nonoise....
Pivoting my own thread to something else; can one hijack his own thread...?
At any rate, I'm a DAC newbie; you seem, like me, to have an affinity for Marantz.
Music Direct has a Marantz NA7004 at half-price. I'd like to buy it but would be interested in your opinions; my own research has shown some people like it, some don't. I'm a beginner here with digital music....is this a smart purchase?

Thanks much,
Jeff
