Marantz MODEL M1 Wireless Streaming Amplifier

[GiBo61]

It serms that the DAC in the Marantz M1 Is the modest Burr Brown PCM5121, the same one present in the Wiim Mini (source https://audio.com.pl/testy/stereo/wzmacniacze-stereo/3976-marantz-m1)

What about the ‘Switching, digital end-to-end amplifier topology’? Maybe the PCM5121 is for the subwoofer output?

Can you connect the M1 as an amplifier to a pc with an optical connection? And is this optical connection max 24bit/192khz?

Yes, I guess you are right if this Is a full-digital amplifier.

Fairly sure this has the TPA3255 inside, like the WiiM, quite good specs.

Fairly sure it does not!
“The amp is a marriage of Axign's AX5689 digital Class D amplifier controller with the power stage from Texas Instruments' DRV8932 quad half-bridge driver chip.”

Right, I see multiple references to AX5689. It is bridged design, corresponding to the 4 big coils, two for each channel.

However, the driver chip you mention only does 1.5 Ampere. More is needed to drive a 100 watts.

I find it a bit strange that an expensive amplifier from such a powerful brand doesn't have features that allow us to better adjust the sound, like a room correction system and parametric equalizers. JBL released a 5.1 receiver for $599 that has room correction via a mobile app

The Jbl is awful. The Matantz is getting good reviews. I'd be shocked. if it sounds 600 dollar better than the Wiim pro. However, I would love a more powerful wiim. It lacks just a little punch.

In Brazil, I can have a M1 but can’t have a Wiim. They doesn’t sell here or Paraguay.

Just waiting for M1 measurements to pull the trigger.
