Marantz M-CR603 Review

 

The Marantz lacks wireless networking, but its sound quality more than makes up for it

Also known as the Melody Media, the Marantz draws comparisons with the Denon: the brands share a parent company, and the design of the two units is similar.Look closely and there are some big differe

Marantz M-CR603

 

Best micro system ?400+, Awards 2011. Great to use, listen to and live with, this Marantz micro is a high-tech marvel

Lovely looks and great usability; will play music from almost anywhere; cracking detail and rhythmic precision

A slight faff to add AirPlay; no wi-fi

Good quality sound but a few niggling issue to resolve

 

I have now been using the system for about four months. I've waited this long to try and ensure I give a reasonably accurate review. The setup I purchased is the Marantz cr603 paired with Monitor audio BX2 speakers and reasonably expensive speaker...

Must-have radio!

 

All-in-one radio, FM-AM-Dab-Internet-Streaming-Ipod etc. and of course with a CD player. I sold my amplifier, dab/fm/am radio and my CD-player and got this compact MCR603 instead! You have to study the manual for setup, but then it is rather easy to...

Extra mile

 

I was nicely surprised. The sound is superb (using it with Monitor Audio BX2), the range of supported formats is larger than it says on the spec. It supports wma, mp3, flac and ogg from usb drive and from dlna servers (tested with win7 & mediatomb)....

MCR 603 Review

 

I've owned lots of hi-fi equipment over the years, and last year I took the plunge and bought a Pure Avanti Flow internet radio. Lovely bit of kit and this helped me change my mind about networked audio.

Consumer review by:

Excellent piece of kit

 

Bought this a couple of weeks ago (actually not from Amazon, since I wanted to listen to it first!) and have been very impressed with it.

Consumer review by:

Perfect music system for a great price

 

Absolute quality from build to features. Has everything a music fan like myself needs: Dab/FM radio, Internet radio, Cd player, PC Streaming and now with authentic Apple Licenced Air-play (you can now stream all music from Itunes on PC/Mac, Ipod Touch,...
