Chebby, some Qs for you I guess as the main 603 voice around here...

Not that at all.

Does the 603 have any other aux inputs round the back apart from the optical in?

Two. Aux 2 and 3.

More importantly, can you confirm if the unit can play ALAC across the network, as opposed to just from airplay?
Never tried (see above).

Here is the number for Marantz (D&M) technical support. I'm sure they'll be able to answer all this for you...

02890 279830

Also, how do you find the Marantz app?
Never needed it or used it.

Sorry I couldn't help you. As I said above, I am an AirPlay user through and through. Never needed to try what you are proposing to do.

Thanks. Much appreciated.

I think I'll use Airplay mostly myself, but wanted an option that opened up my whole music collection on a NAS. that's where I was thinking the network streaming would come in, but with a big music collection, it's got to be easy to operate / navigate, and that's where you struggle to beat a computer with a qwerty.
