Marantz M1 All-in-One Streamer Amplifier

The newest amp on the market has received the prestigious ‘EISA Best Product Compact Streaming Amplifier 2024-2025’ award.

MADE IN JAPAN - While many Marantz units (and competitors’) are now assembled in China or elsewhere, the M1 retains its Shirakawa roots—a mark of high build quality and audiophile karma.

CLASS D AMP - Unlike traditional Class AB amplifiers (like the Marantz Stereo 70s or Cinema series), the M1 uses a “direct digital” amplification topology—it keeps audio in digital form up to the switching output stage. This design eliminates the usual DAC stage and allows high-quality playback of 24‑bit/192 kHz PCM and DSD128

Don’t be fooled by the MODEL M1’s diminutive size and minimalist design. Thanks to its 2x100W digital Class D power stage and wide-ranging feature set, Marantz’s amplifier effortlessly drives loudspeakers in the living room to take care of both music and TV audio needs. Integration of the HEOS streaming platform and control app, plus AirPlay 2 and Bluetooth connectivity, make music playback easy, while HDMI eARC, Dolby Digital decoding and subwoofer support cater to movie night via a 2.1 system. And although the MODEL M1 fits many roles – the compact form factor also suits CI set-ups – this amplifier’s superb sonic performance stays true to Marantz’s heritage.
