Can I stream Spotify or 192K/24bit FLAC files from a Windows 8.1 PC to the Marantz M-CR610 while controlling it from an Android device?

Not that I am aware. Of course you can stream off of Spotify directly. I have successfully attached to a network drive but not to a specific PC. I don't know if you need a device driver or not on a PC.

Yes, for Spotify, you need a Premium account. For Windows 8.1 you need to setup then PC as a DLNA server, then download the Marantz app for Android and then you are ready to go.

If you have an android tablet, you can run "iControlAV" app. One of the best remote control apps I've seen. It displays a room with the speaker setup. But really, I only used the MCACC setup that is onboard the AVR to initially setup my speakers. No pictures, but it does show which setup you've selected.

Page 38 of the manual (available on the Marantz site) indicates that 24bit/ 96kHz and higher WAV files aren't supported. The USB device port on the front of the unit only supports 16bit/44.1kHz CD quality or lower when using a USB thumb drive (another commentor said it can also handle 24/44.1). A bit of research here [http://xiph.org/~xiphmont/demo/neil-young.html] convinced me that CD quality is just fine, and that's likely why Marantz didn't include higher rates on this equipment.I have 24bit/48kHz WAV files on my iPad Mini, and when I attach the Mini to the CD6005's front USB port, these WAV files play just fine.

Although it does not support FLAC from USB/MTP device, as long as you have the necessary software codecs / players on your android phone, you can still stream it on bluetooth.

From Android you can use the AV Controller App to control the system settings and use the app's player to play the devices music through the stereo. The IOS app is the same app as Android and for both devices if you just want to play the device's files then it is fine. With IOS you get Airplay, which streams just about any app's audio to the stereo. I use this a lot more because apps like Spotify or SiriusXM, so Airplay to me is a better feature than playing the device's music. If you have a rooted Android device you can buy apps that take the Android audio out and stream it in the Airplay format. I tested it for a few minutes and it worked find with Spotify for Android and the stereo.

I dont know about PC, I'm a Mac user. Windows Media Player is a DLNA player, so it should work. i play Pandora on my Sony TV, throufh my Sony Receiver STR-DN1030 and I "Party Stream" to my two SN-NS500 speakers. But I primarily use Airplay on my iPhone or iPad to each speaker individually as I move around the house, or I take one the speakers ourside by the pool or to wash the car.

Yes, it supports A2DP, which allows music and other streaming on most modern devices (iPhones, et al.)

As long as the computer has a line out or headphone jack. I stream spotify from my computer to a number of 70's hifi systems using this FM transmitter.

Second thoughts: It could be that the Windows Media Player is the problem. My network sharing of my music files is done through the WMP, and I think it doesn't recognize FLAC files -- I just checked my WMP "library" and my FLAC files are not shown, so they wouldn't be available on my WiFi network. I'm sure there are other ways of setting up "My Shared Music" which might be able to include FLAC files (maybe using Real Player, etc.). Speak to a techie!

I don't use Spotify but if it can be down loaded to your computer or to an SD card it will work.

Using my android smartphone with bluetooth, I am able to control basic features of Spotify. However, meta data does not show. Reading Spotify forums this is more likely a Spotify problem than this unit. Older versions of Spotify has worked great with this unit.Using the USB cable into the unit does not make a difference either. Neither does using the aux/in.All other music apps seem to work fine, just Spotify seems to have problems. This Kenwood unit is awesome!

Hi, you can use your smartphone to connect to spotify, and then transfer the audio using bluetooth, to the RXA1040 using this device. I do this with deezer (And spotify alternative).

I do not have an Android but using my iPhone, I can direct music to it from that device or an iPad or even an AppleTV. I use the iTunes app to direct music to it which allows me to have music on multiple devices. I believe the speakers support DLMA but I have never used that.

Yes. There is a product called AirFoil. It allows you to stream to any airplay device with no problem. I have 3 of these speakers and can play to them all in sync from my windows 7 pc.
