Do you really mean Deep Standby? The Marantz M1 has two standby modes and will only enter Deep Standby if the wired or wireless network is removed for 60 minutes and the LED will go off (according to the manual). My Denon Home Amp has never gone into Deep Standby.It’s so odd. If I leave the device for like a couple hours and turn it back on I get the hissing sound. If I reboot it the sound is gone. I don’t know what to make of it. Quick start is a way to avoid it going into deep standby for hours.
I assume it’s a firmware issue but i don’t know. I’ve had two devices do the exact same thing.
Sorry the auto standby mode. Basically if I leave it alone for an hour without audio playing through it.Do you really mean Deep Standby?

I think that the M1 sounds quite nice with the LS50 Metas. I have no complaints. I do have a small subwoofer hoked up.Do the LS50's sound good on a class D amp?
What do you have hooked up via RCAs? I had a CD player hooked up yesterday. And, I hooked up a DVD player (to play CDs) earlier today. I have had no issues thus far. Is it safe to assume that you are using quality interconnects? And, that you have tried different interconnects?I also have the metas and have no complaints on the sound quality. They sound very good:
All my issues are related to rca input and hiss out of deep standby that goes away on restart.
That stinks. Have you tried hooking up something else to the M1 via the RCAs to see if the issue is still present?I have a jds labs element 4 connected to it via rca. It’s a headphone amp/dac connected to my computer. For some reason it sounds a lot better than the optical audio.
Yes they are higher end locking rca cables.
I have no issues unless I’m turning on the amp out of the auto standby. If I reset it it’s dead silent and works great. It’s the weirdest thing. I cannot figure out the cause.
I was told by the guy on live chat this is a known issue with an upcoming firmware update. The second guy I talked to just seemed confused and told me to firmware reset then escalated me to someone else who wanted to schedule a call.
Maybe but it sounds better to me. Also gives you better eq capabilities. Honestly I just like the volume knob. It works well and has an app with your pc. Overall more pleasant usability.I may be wrong, but because of the M1’s "direct digital," isn’t using a DAC with the M1 redundant?
I’m going to try buying a higher end power cable off of Amazon. I read this could be related to some sort of power issue on initial startup. Will let you know if it works.Maybe but it sounds better to me. Also gives you better eq capabilities. Honestly I just like the volume knob. It works well and has an app with your pc.

Going through usb to dac pretty much avoids any sound processing from the pc and it occurs within the element 4. I assume that the m1 has its own processing as well which is the redundancy you’re talking about. At the end of the day it sounds better to me… don’t know why.
If the m1 has an rca out it should work without issues. This can’t be that hard.
