Play back your extensive digital music collection with support for Hi-Res formats via network or the front-panel USB port. Listen to your beloved vinyls through the built-in high quality phono equaliser. Stream music from leading music services and control the NR1711 with voice control compatibility via Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant and Apple Siri.
DTS:X
DTS:X immersive audio formatting places sound where it would naturally occur in space, creating life-like, multi-dimensional audio. DTS Virtual:X provides immersive audio without height channels, creating virtual height effects in a 2.1, 5.1 or 7.1 speaker arrangement.
Dolby Atmos
Dolby Atmos Height Virtualisation Technology simulates the Atmos experience with forward facing-drivers. Configure up to five speakers to replicate the effect of two in-ceiling speakers, or utilise all seven channels to simulate the powerful effect of four overhead speakers.
Hi-Res Audio Support
Enjoy music exactly as the artist intended. The NR1711 decodes Hi-Res Audio ALAC, FLAC and WAV lossless files up to 24-bit/192-kHz, as well as DSD 2.8MHz and 5.6MHz tracks (the audiophile format of SACD). Listen to your music via the front panel USB port or over network sources.
Compactness, availability of Pre Out Front
Price
I needed a compact receiver with the availability of Pre Out Front, since the powerage will be responsible for the front acoustics. The only suitable market option is Maratz NR1711, inherently the same Denon 1600, the difference is only in the power supply and the amplifying part. In fact, in this model there is nothing outstanding except compact sizes, and clearly highly high cost. To use this model for listening to music is nonsense, it is not any, it is small in sound, it cannot control acoustics, therefore this model is unambiguously universal. His element is only a movie, in fact, what he was created for. In the cinema, he practices for a fourth with a stretch, but still I have no particular nit -handedness to him. When choosing an AC for this baby, pay attention to sensitivity, no tight speakers he will not pull.

Sound, appearance, understandable menu, functionality
Appendix for iOS, lack of Dimmer button on the remote control, sound adjustment from the remote control.
A receiver with a good sound, which gradually became better for a month, in the process of warming up. A computer is connected to the receiver via HDMI, via optics and EARC TV, plus the center of Definitive Technology CS9040, the Klipsch C-308aswi submarine and the side Heco F11. JAMO's front columns C 95 II Black Ash are connected through the Emotiva A-300 amplifier. At first, he made several calibrations of the room, both through a microphone, and just with a tape measured distance to listen to how it would be like that. In the final, he stopped on the result from the built -in sound calibration system, after which he already added thinner settings through the parameters in the menu. Different preserves of acoustics are created for music and for the cinema, which are saved on the menu and which can be rewritten if it is necessary. There are also four saved fast settings for various connected devices. Therefore, switching between different sources is made by just one button, which is convenient. For music, cinema, games and Pure there are separate sound modes where I chose and retained the most comfortable for my ear. The setting for itself is simple and light, and then it’s still easier to use. The sound was enough without an amplifier, just the amplifier made it a little softer and a little more detailed. Through Air Play, I did not notice losses in the sound. All that needs to be connected and everything works correctly. Of the little things that could be, there is no button to darken the screen on the remote control. This can be done on the receiver itself or through the menu, which is inconvenient. And a strange sound control algorithm from the remote control, when you need to make it quieter or louder, then if you press the button and hold, the sound does not change gradually, but immediately, so you have to press several times each time so as not to miss. The iPhone app is simply terrible. It does not affect the quality of the receiver in any way, but if you need to configure or turn it on, turn it off through it, and this is necessary, then this is sometimes a whole epic, since everything slows down, hangs and buggy almost constantly. But it inspires the hope that after several updates the application became clearly better, although it is still very far from normal. In addition, there are no other complaints about Maratz. Everything else in 1711 suits completely and well performs the tasks that it must fulfill.

Surrounded by music, Marantz found that a home music system that met his exacting standards in the early 1950's just did not exist. He envisioned a completely new architectural idea for sound reproduction, and employing his skill in electrical engineering, built the proof of his concept - the Audio Consolette, a Hi-Fi pre-amplifier designed for the home.
