So, please let me ask you about these computer setting you mentioned. You are asking that I not shout anything negative, yet several people on the forum clearly say I am not going to get what Amazon promises, which is 16 bit, 44.1 KHz, or anything up to 24 bit/192 KHz. But perhaps somebody who is more knowledgeable about windows configurations than I am may have a solution for you. Until Amazon updates their app to support the use of specialized bit perfect audio drivers, I do not know of any way around this limitation. And the stock windows drivers sample the output to something along the lines of 24/48, regardless of the input sampling rate. It only supports the stock windows drivers. But for whatever reason, Amazon's own music app does not presently support any of these drivers. Quality audio software such a JRiver, Foobar, etc all allow sending their output through multiple different types of high-performance audio drivers which support bit perfect operation. It does not support any of the types of drivers which support bit perfect operation, and instead it will always send its audio through the OS itself, rather than through one of these specialized drivers. The problem, as I understand it, is that Amazon's own software is presently incapable of bit-perfect operation. Your Marantz contains a superb DAC, and it is not the problem.
