Marantz Model M1 Wireless Streaming Amplifier

The Marantz Model M1 is a compact and versatile amplifier that combines excellent audio quality with advanced wireless streaming features.

Designed to meet both traditional hi-fi enthusiasts and new buyers, this device offers 100 W of power per channel, with a low distortion level of 0.005% THD, it is also compatible with a wide range of loudspeakers, including tower or wall mounted speakers, and can be connected to a subwoofer to create a 2.1 system, with pass-up filters and pass-down adjustable for a personalized audio experience.

One of the strengths of the Model M1 is the support for high resolution music, as it manages to manage audio files even in HD format with a resolution up to 24-bit/192kHz and DSD 5.6 Mhz, which makes it perfect for those looking for superior audio quality.

The amplifier operating completely in the digital domain, eliminates all the potential errors caused by traditional economic DACs, plus also integrates technologies such as the Marantz Music Digital Filtering (MMDF), which offers warm and detailed musical reproduction.

As for connectivity, the Model M1 supports streaming services such as Spotify Connect, TIDAL, AirPlay 2 and Bluetooth 5, but also features an optical input and RCA, as well as a USB-A port and an HDMI eARC input that makes it an ideal solution as an alternative to soundbars, to improve TV audio, being compatible with Dolby Digital and Dolby Digital+ format.

You can also play music from local network (DLNA) or via memory or hard disk connected via USB, formatted in FAT32 or NTFS, while the HEOS app for iOS, Android and Kindle Fire is available to control all functions.

The integrated HEOS system therefore allows access to numerous music services and the possibility to create multiroom ecosystems throughout the house, or allows you to access all the main audio streaming services and share music in all rooms by communicating with other HEOS products.

To conclude, despite its compact size, passive thermal management does not involve any fan noise or heat accumulation problems in the cabinets.
