Processor sound comparison- Anthem avm90 vs NAD M17 V2i

We stream and the sound is excellent we use abn nvidea streamer 

One other point audio controls customer service is superb

I've had the Anthem cinema 60 and traded it in fir the Anthem mrx740. For me the Anthem's sound, especially for 2 channel is hands down better than Marantz for my set up. Marantz Heos app was a nightmare, and ARC gives u much more control than Marantz's room correction.  ARC does a great job especially if you have an multi use room that you can't make look like a recording studio. And Anthem is made in Canada.

abn nvidea streamer? Can you please post the link having trouble finding it. I use an Apple TV 4K which is fine but wonder if there's anything better out there.  

heos from Marantz I agree is absolutely horrifying and I guess they got to do something

Never owned Marantz but owned a couple Denon, a couple Onkyo and a couple Yamaha over the years. Moved to an Anthem AVM 60 years ago and was blown away at the improvement in audio quality and channel separation. Have not had any issues with it. Now also own an MRX 1140 and no issues there either. No issues with ARC Genesis. Fought with Dirac on a different unit for weeks. Talk about buggy and difficult. Have heard a couple NAD 2-channel rigs and was impressed. Haven’t heard any of their HT offerings.

nad processor I’ve had experience with has an interface that’s very easy to follow and not glitchy. Although still most interfaces have their quirky qualities because the people developing them have no insight into what mere humans experience when faced with a learning curve.

As for the interface related to DSP, it’s terribly horrifying it should be a lot easier it’s not like it’s doing terribly complicated things. You can only save 3 DSP settings on a nad processor and that’s really disappointing.

Again the real problem is just the compressed streaming Quality that’s offered and that’s inherent in the environment and that’s going to limit progress creating better processors which probably could sound a lot better where not for the terrible compression movie soundtracks that exist. you would think with 5G and better bandwidth on pipes compression would be less of an issue but it remains the single worst issue facing quality sound for people who stream.
