Great for amplifier, not so great for streaming.
Does what it's supposed to do! As an A/V receiver, you need to have a video source to setup and operate. Im taking out one star as the GUI is outdated and HEOS app is unbearable in my opinion. It allows you to connect to various streaming sources but thats where the flexibility ends, searching song and utilizing your existing playlists is impossible. If your main purpose is to power your speakers- go for it. If your purpose is for streaming- forget it.

My unit is defective
Sounds great, full of features -- but the right channel stopped working within three days after installation, and the unit keeps switching itself off unexpectedly. Right channel became weaker and weaker, had to turn balance all the way to R+12, then it completely died. Best Buy has provided great service. Will replace the unit. Hope the replacement is defect free. If not, have to find a suitable full-featured alternative. Come on Marantz! What happened to QA?

So Far So Good
Does Everything I was hoping and really sounds nice. The phono stage is a big improvement over the bluetooth option I was using. The DAC really makes streaming music sound good.

Great receiver!
Great sound with the so much flexibility in connecting all my stereo and tv requirements. Excellent on board system to help make connections.

Simple yet very effective
While it's true this little receiver is only two channels at 75 watts per channel, it is the IDEAL choice for TV viewing in a non-theater stereo only environment. It's five HDMI inputs provide plenty of choices for different component hookup to my 65" Samsung HDTV. I personally am using three of the five HDMI inputs, one for a BluRay, one for a Roku streamer and one for a Tivo receiver. Those inputs along with the WiFi, Bluetooth and the HEOS features allow for a VERY easy integration into my existing HEOS network. This allows me to use the receiver for TV viewing or multiple room audio "Party Mode". This is a feature filled purchase option for those folks needing only two channels for a non-home theater type of environment. Additionally, the Marantz quality is fully upheld in this little receiver. Bottom line; this little receiver is an awesome buy and a great "Bang for the Buck".
