Best way to connect my Marantz SR 5011 to my MacBook?
Tried using USB 3.0 cable but it won't connect
Does AVR have a DAC? Was able to connect my iPhone & play music

You could do Audioquest Dragonfly and 1/8" to unbalanced RCA cable.afterburnt wrote: »They didn't speak a word of English, they were from South Carolina.

Just airplay man. Easy peasy.
The AVR does indeed have a dac. Did you select the right audio output on your mac when you connected via USB?Living Room 2.2: Usher BE-718 "tiny dancers"; Dual DIY Dayton audio RSS210HF-4 Subs with Dayton SPA-250 amps; Arcam SA30; Musical Fidelity A308; Sony UBP-x1000es

Still looking. I assume you connected a USB cable from the Macbook to the front USB port on the 5011. This won't work per page 59 of the manual. It will work with an ipad/iphone or an external hard drive - just not a computer.
Generally, for a USB to work with a computer you need a USB-B type connection on the receiver.
Thanks for help. Yes. I've tried connecting MacBook Air to Marantz via USB 3.0 cable. Did not work. Ordered a optical adapter and will try to connect that way.
Will keep you posted. Thanks again.AVR: Marantz SR 5011

AirPlay will compress signal. Trying to play Tidal "Master" albums.

If you want to play MQA you're going to need a Meridian Explorer DAC.afterburnt wrote: »They didn't speak a word of English, they were from South Carolina.

We have another thread going on Tidal and the MQA needed for Tidal and the Master albums. You won't get that by plugging into the Marantz alone.HT SYSTEM-
