Somehow, I think these are for people that want better sound than what their iPod can provide. Still Hi-fi makes about as much sense to me as women. So Im not sure.]]>Jul 23rd 2010 6:26PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/23/marantz-adds-blu-ray-3d-internet-streaming-features-across-2010/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/23/marantz-adds-blu-ray-3d-internet-streaming-features-across-2010/
"Front USB input for iPod/iPhone Digital connection (Audio) or USB Memory (Audio/Photo) "

Somehow, I feel you will not be getting one anyways (as it doesn't come with those awesome white earbuds...).

That implies that you have a lossless audio file (FLAC or ALAC) to begin with, which is hopelessly optimistic for 99.99% of the population. And, if you're *SO* high tech, that you cannot settle for less than lossless audio (which is stupid because 320 MP3 sounds identical for about half the space) and are still using an iPod to interface with your receiver to meet that end, there's something wrong. Much more elegant ways of getting the best quality audio to playback over your home theater setup. Love my Onkyo btw.]]>Jul 23rd 2010 7:45PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/23/marantz-adds-blu-ray-3d-internet-streaming-features-across-2010/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/23/marantz-adds-blu-ray-3d-internet-streaming-features-across-2010/Jul 23rd 2010 9:11PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/23/marantz-adds-blu-ray-3d-internet-streaming-features-across-2010/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/23/marantz-adds-blu-ray-3d-internet-streaming-features-across-2010/
I agree I can't hear the difference between 320 MP3 and lossless on my wife's old speakers or my pc speakers.

I disagree, I can definitely hear a difference between 320 MP3 and FLAC on my Paradigm [irony] Studio 60s

In the end, why use MP3 when there may be a day that you are staring at your old CD collection thinking "oh crap, will I have to re-rip all of these to FLAC to get the best quality back again for this amazing audio setup I just bought?". Why does the space difference even matter anymore with 2TB external drives? I actually have everything everything in both formats so I have the portable vs. the home. ]]>Jul 24th 2010 8:18AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/23/marantz-adds-blu-ray-3d-internet-streaming-features-across-2010/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/23/marantz-adds-blu-ray-3d-internet-streaming-features-across-2010/Jul 26th 2010 2:47PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/23/marantz-adds-blu-ray-3d-internet-streaming-features-across-2010/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/23/marantz-adds-blu-ray-3d-internet-streaming-features-across-2010/
I regret the malfunction of your "sarcasm detection meter".]]>Jul 26th 2010 4:05PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/23/marantz-adds-blu-ray-3d-internet-streaming-features-across-2010/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/23/marantz-adds-blu-ray-3d-internet-streaming-features-across-2010/Jul 23rd 2010 6:26PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/23/marantz-adds-blu-ray-3d-internet-streaming-features-across-2010/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/23/marantz-adds-blu-ray-3d-internet-streaming-features-across-2010/
"Marantz adds Bu-ray 3D, internet streaming features across 2010 Blu-ray player, audio line"

'Marantz': name of company
'adds Blu-ray 3D,': it has a built in Blu-ray disc player that can play the newer discs that contain 3D movies (you'll need a 3D capable TV and glasses)
'Internet streaming features': play content from web sites such as NetFlix and YouTube
'across 2010 Blu-ray player, audio line': for all their new 2010 line of products including their Blu-ray players and their Audio products (e.g., receivers). Think streaming video for Blu-ray products and streaming audio for audio products (e.g., Pandora).

Hopefully that clears things up.

That's because audiophiles like to choose each part that suits them. I mean, a receiver is actually already very all-in-one. It has a pre-amp, amps, etc. a lot of stuff.

Also, its better for upgrades. You can still use a 40 year old amp, but I doubt you'd want the equivalent of Bluray from the 70's :D]]>Jul 24th 2010 1:02AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/23/marantz-adds-blu-ray-3d-internet-streaming-features-across-2010/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/23/marantz-adds-blu-ray-3d-internet-streaming-features-across-2010/Jul 23rd 2010 10:22PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/23/marantz-adds-blu-ray-3d-internet-streaming-features-across-2010/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/23/marantz-adds-blu-ray-3d-internet-streaming-features-across-2010/Jul 23rd 2010 10:27PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/23/marantz-adds-blu-ray-3d-internet-streaming-features-across-2010/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/23/marantz-adds-blu-ray-3d-internet-streaming-features-across-2010/Jul 24th 2010 3:23AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/23/marantz-adds-blu-ray-3d-internet-streaming-features-across-2010/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/23/marantz-adds-blu-ray-3d-internet-streaming-features-across-2010/
I believe the updated version of the sr8002 would be the AV8003 and MM8003. I am just happy they updated the 7000 series.

You have to be an audiophile to get it.

I saw $1500! = Fail ... each Piece of my stereo cost more than $1500 and it's 2 channels, not surround, no tuner(radio), no blueray, no ipod connection. it plays CD's (those round disc things with music on them) & LP's(records) only. and it sounds soooooo sweet.
