When it comes to music/media streaming how good a device sounds is only half of the story. The other and equally important half is the useability of the device. And it is this second half that just about every high end music streamer seems to ignore. When the computer on which one's music library is located runs Windows then the "solution" is the completely unworkable DLNA and UPnP nonsense, which are about as user UNfriendly as can be possibly imagined. If the computer on which one's music library is located is a Mac then one is "solution" is usually some iTunes/AirPlay combo and while this combo is more user friendly and workable then the DLNA and UPnP nonsense (but then again the bar is set extremely low), the iTunes/AirPlay combo is far from ideal. That said, the Marantz unit does have an iPad/iPhone app so it must be really, really good.
