I bought this to replace a Roksan separates system as needed a smaller unit/ footprint. I must say that I have been blown away by the quailty of this system for the price. The unit itself is small and sleek, was easy to set-up and found DAB stations quickly. I used a memory stick with MP3 files anda agin, played without any problems, have also loadede the ipod to the aux sockets so all ceonnections active, within minutes. What is the most impressive feature though is the sound quality, I believe you cannot find anything better under 700 let alone under 400 ! buy it, you won't regret it

I recently bought the M-CR502 to replace an early Marantz CD player and valve amp and it works really well. The sound quality is astonishingly good (I am using Tannoy Stirling speakers which help a bit!) and the unit is easy to use, FM reception excellent (I live outside UK) and I can't fault it! It will work with my mp3 player and USB sticks and even plays from a portable USB hard disk (with limited subfolder selection). The biamp speaker circuitry is clever. The construction is solid and the style is handsome. Thoroughly recommended - it will give it's rivals a hard time!

this is a great great bit of kit. i am very very pleased with my purchase.
Its beautifully made using top quality components meaning it feels like something you would find in a Mercedes S-Class. Sadly the remote doesn't quite match the box but for the price you pay its very easily forgiven.
I won't bore you with how easy it is to setup or its excellent connectivity, lets go to the most important bit, how it sounds! I am bi-wiring q acoustics 2020 speakers using a good quality silver plated cable and I can report the sound is incredible. Its rich but detailed, powerful but delicate, the sound stage it multi-multi-mulfaceated meaning you hear every element of a track in tremendous detail. It really is impressive and i thoroughly recommend bi wiring.
ipod sounds good too, i recommend using a dock and going through the bottom not the 3.5jack. i am using the very basic cam audio iD10 and its sounds good though i think it could be a lot better, will replace that later.
I have chosen to bi-wire mine, but for a system that sounds this good as well as offering 2 sets of speaker at 25 watt versus 1 x 50w, you just cannot go wrong.
The 2020's are great speakers and sound fantastic but coupled with the outstanding marantz 502, I can't help but think it (the 502) has got a lot more to give. Running a set of b&w's would take it to the next level.
So in summary: Score 10/10 Verdict: Simply excellent

Quite a big footprint
Please forgive my short review... this is a fab unit, but if you can - try it in person first, because its features seem oversized. It's a lot, lot bigger than my old Teac. Read more
