No Network Connection

Did you just update the Marantz?

Can you verify that other parts are working, not just the network is failed?

Marantz / Denon AV receivers do not have USB DAC input. They have USB type-A port but it's for USB storage:

To access Marantz / Denon AV receivers internal DAC, you'd need to use coaxial or toslink or HDMI audio (not i2s).

If you use a PC for Roon Core, you can try connecting the PC HDMI output to the Marantz HDMI input. It may need some manual Roon configuration before you'll get sound though.
 
Hi Peter,

No I had not updated as my HT person warned that current updates had caused problems for most of his clients. He has dropped the Marantz line due to this issue. I did check on updates and it showed not updates available.

Everything else on the Marantz works fine.

I have not made time to try connecting my Oppo via digital out to see if it will play music this way. If it does then the DAC should be reachable as you suggest.

I am hoping to use my streaming signal in my listening room via ethernet as I had always done. I would bring my iPad to the living room and select from my server or Qobuz via Roon programing.
 
I'm slightly surprised he dropped Marantz (= Denon). With Onkyo (= Pioneer) financials causing delisting, that leaves buyers only one major alternative: Yamaha. In spite of the firmware updates, I still see Denon / Marantz as market leading AV receivers, and will likely need to buy one in the coming years.

If your Oppo is 203 or 205, you can simply use the Oppo as a Roon Ready endpoint, with analog or digital output to the Marantz.
 
Unfortunately my Oppo is the first gen BluRay 83 so that will only be good for the digital out to test the Marantz.

He said almost every time an update was done it had a ripple effect on other parts of the unit. Marantz would take no responsibility for the issues so he went with Yamaha.

I have called numerous times and the Marantz support has a message saying they are having technical difficulties and to leave a number. After 4 weeks of leaving a phn #, no response.

Not sure who makes disc players that also are Roon-ready these days. Many manufacturers stopped making players since folks have moved to streaming videos. My recommendation would also be the Oppo 203 or 205, but Oppo no longer makes them and they used to be pricey in the used market. Good luck!
