Users can also utilize the voice assistant technology to play music from the unit without having to physically interact with it to further streamline the experience.
The Marantz AV8805 receiver also works with Spotify Connect as well to further acknowledge the shift towards audio streaming amongst connected consumers. The unit also features 4K HDR passthrough, which makes it suitable for use with many of the 4K TVs on or coming to the market.
