Marantz NR1510 vs Marantz NR1509

Marantz NR1509 review

The device supports Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio decoders for high-resolution multi-channel audio playback and uses a special mode for energy saving. High-current transistors are involved in five discrete amplifiers of the model, due to which a power of 85 W per channel at 6 Ohms (50 W / 8 Ohms) is achieved and operation is guaranteed even with those speakers whose impedance is 4 Ohms. In addition to the conventional remote control and proprietary application, the Marantz NR1509 can be controlled by commands transmitted using the Amazon Alexa voice assistant (when using the HEOS Home Entertainment Skill application).

Marantz NR1510 review

The unit has the same decoders as his opponent has. Its power reaches 85 watts per channel (6 ohms), and the receiver can withstand even a 4-ohm load. HDMI output received support for eARC (extended return channel), which makes it possible to work with codecs Dolby TrueHD, DTS-HD Master Audio, etc. The model has wide switching capabilities. There are optical / coaxial inputs as well as 2.2-channel Pre Out. Even a vinyl turntable with an MM cartridge can be connected to the Marantz NR1510, and 5 pairs of screw terminals are used for speakers.
