For a price of up to 20 thousand. quite a decent facility. The big disappointment was getting the voice control to work! The device has full support for Alexa, which will add Heos skills. Most functions can be controlled by voice: volume control, switching inputs, ordering radio via TuneIn, etc. It is worse with Spotify, which Heos does not yet directly support, so from the mobile app you can play e.g. Airplay a song from Spotify, but it's not possible to voice-order it directly via Alexa with a play command on the Marantz. What is a big surprise, however, is that neither Alexa nor Heos skills are designed for the Czech Republic so you won't install it on your mobile or computer unless you are a more skilled and a bit more advanced user! It took me a total of 4 hours to overcome all geolocation barriers for Czech users to get the voice control via Alexa through Heos. It works, in English only of course! Just downloading the Alexa mobile app for iOS, without which you can't sync your Marantz with Alexa, requires a US AppleID, which you'll need a US mobile phone number to verify your account when you set it up, and that's just the start of a long journey to get it up and running. A VPN is also useful. But it can be done. It's just more for enthusiasts than for ordinary users i.e. that if you don't work on it, this Marantz won't have voice control, even though it says it does! Also, be aware that neither Siri nor Google Assistant control the device only can stream to it so Alexa is the only option. Good luck with the voice control installation. Otherwise, fine. It's a good amplifier. I can recommend it.
