At $1000. the M1 should sound way better than the WiiM.

@@m4nc1n1 I'm a bit skeptical. I'd bet that the new WiiM Ultra Streamer with iOS compatible room correction software @ $319. feeding a pair of Q Acoustics M20 Active Speakers @ $499. connected to a Kanto Sub 8 @ $269. would in a smaller room, blow away the Model M1. That's a total Equip. MSRP of$1,087... In a medium to larger room, I'd substitute the new Triangle BRO3 Actives @ $699. for the Q M20 actives an increase of $200. in both cases less $$$$ than the Model M1 connected to speakers of comparable fidelity.

THANK YOU for trying it on the LRS+, I'm going to be doing the following setup = Fluance RT85 + Magnepan LRS+ + Marantz Model M1.

@@HAL-vu8ef Yamaha is doing also excellent products, but N1000A is more expensive and will require more space!

Is Tidal available on release? I am interested in the M1, and I am sure it is quite a lot better than the WiiM which is a fairly low bar. Looking in to the WiiM I can't put it on any list. If the pro has the same amp, I would be skeptical to any improvements. The M1 though at $1500 CDN must pack a lot considering there are few physical controls/inputs/outputs. Specs look relatively good. I look forward to hearing more about it.

I agree 100%. If all the streaming crap is what you care about (I use Airplay for everything anyway), well then get the WiiM. But if you care about sound quality, get the M1. I would get the M1 and feed a WiiM mini into it if needed.

I think this would sound nice with my setup: Wharfedale Diamond 12.1 speakers + SVS SB-1000pro.

Not a fair assessment of the rotel A11 it’s only 50watts per channel A14mkii would have veiled better results. But I get it if you’re doing it at a price point.

I would have the comfort of using it as a fantastic streaming dac down the road, if I wanted to use tube amp (for example), or just more powerful amplification. Would have been easy enough for Marantz to include this and it would have really rounded out the feature set and the value proposition, for me.
