For example, at start-up the iconic Marantz porthole and its retro-style starburst confirm that you are connected with true craftsmanship.

Reviews

Doesn't work beyond setup

While the app is useful for getting the Consolette on your network during setup, after that, it only loads in barely functional state. The entire interface except the settings 'gear' button on the bottom and power button on the top is greyed-out' and inaccessible, making it virtually unusable. Thankfully for a huge majority of my use, I'm going through my iPhone's music player or Pandora app to control what the Consolette plays so it doesn't limit my enjoyment of the otherwise amazing speaker

Terrible

Consistently cannot find Consolette on the network. On the off chance it connects, it is fine...unfortunately it rarely does.

It's ok when it works. Which is rare

I cannot count the number of days, weeks, when I could not use the Consolette due to its failure to connect on my network. Beyond comprehension. When it does work, it's quite cool. But that is a very rare pleasure.

Love how the dock gets wifi details from docked iDevice when you push NetLink in Consolette app... Also the best net radio I've seen, with that "local" tab. Everything easy and working as expected.... Maybe bad reviews were versions earlier than 1.02 with 08-13 firmware?
