Interface could use some improvement, but otherwise perfect DAC integration and quality delivered as expected.

Equipped with WiFi and Bluetooth functionality, the NA6005 is designed to offer both the best connectivity options and the best acoustic performance. The audio circuits use a Marantz-specific hybrid HDAM configuration, as well as the famous discrete transistor modules at the DAC output. The HDAM S2 modules are present to ensure the necessary dynamics and life for music decoded on a 24-bit 192 kHz CS4398 chip.
Whether via the integrated Wi-Fi or its Ethernet port, the NA6005 connects to the entire home network, providing access to over a thousand web radio stations and the Spotify Connect music streaming service.
Thanks to DLNA 1.5 compatibility, it is possible to access a music library on DLNA-compatible devices such as a NAS or media server. It can play high-resolution audio files such as WAV, WMA, MP3, AAC and many other formats including DSD 2.8MHz/5.6MHz, FLAC 192/24, WAV 192/24, AIFF and ALAC. Gapless playback is also supported.

Good product with great sound quality, in line with this product range, however the internet connection is sometimes quite difficult despite an RJ45 connection. I would like to express my dissatisfaction, since it is related to the product, because for the past few months, the brand requires web radio via Vtuner to be paid at $3 per year, and no longer free as was intended when purchasing the device. No other alternative is offered. I'll let you be the judge of this practice.

This product is comprehensive (maybe even a bit too much...) For the initial setup, I recommend connecting it directly to your router with an Ethernet cable. The first startup requires a software update which never launched over my Wi-Fi connection.
I'm giving it 4 stars because it's unfortunate that this network player is unable to save the usage history. It has to scan your USB drive before playback, it scans the internet for stations when it could have just looked for the last track and next one before launching the scan... And for radio, it could remember stations (especially since you can save them to memory and recall them). This scanning is very cumbersome... If Marantz reads my comment, please consider making an update to address my two points and your product will be much closer to perfection.
Soon I will have a NAS on my network. If I have the opportunity to improve my review, I can share how the connection works between my devices.
