On page 26 of your manual it states that you can only playback WAV files at
64kHz/16 bit max. So your lossless should be CD quality compatible only. It
is also DNLA compliant so you will need to use Windows media player. If I
was you I would dispense with the network bit and connect a digital input to
it (S/PDIF) and download one of the players above. You will then be able to
use flac and etc. Otherwise I suggest it will be a hard slog.
A quick Google would have clarified this:
This is the thread and the link is here:
http://www.allquests.com/question/1820345/Marantz-AV8003-MM8003.html
What now follows is not my words: but from the above AV forum.
"I appreciate this gets confusing. Assuming you are only using ripped
material on a PC (or NAS) music server, there are three ways to wire this
up:
1. PC --network--> Media Player --analog--> AV8003 --analog--> amp
2. PC --network--> media Player --S/PDIF--> AV8003 --analog--> amp
3. PC --network--> AV8003 --analog--> amp
In option (1) the MP is doing the D to A. So the MP's DACs are being used.
Then the AV8003 pre/pro does a passthrough of analog. This is using the
"preamp" function of the AV8003, or sometimes called "pure direct".
In option (2) the MP is decoding from FLAC to PCM, i.e. simply passing bits
to the AV8003, which does the D to A conversion. So the AV8003 DACs are
being used.
In option (3) the MP is integrated, and the AV8003 DACs are also being used.
The statement is that the AV8003 does not support FLAC, so you can't use
option (3) with the music on the PC in FLAC format. This option is believed
to only support lossy music formats.
So you have to use either option (1) or (2) if you want FLAC support. The
Slim Devices (aka Logitech) Squeezebox 3 (SB3) is one relatively low cost
media player which supports FLAC lossless. Which one of these 2 options you
use is a matter of personal preference. On the assumption the analog stage
of the AV8003 is better than the SB3 analog stage, option (2) might be
preferred, but you can try both and see. Some would argue you won't hear a
difference.
Clear as mud?

I hope this now sorts

I said I have vista.
How do you control which songs to play? Do you use the remote of your
stereo, or?
This is my network player http://ca.marantz.com/AV8003_Network_DFU_U_EN.pdf
I use the remote from it to control the computer output of audio files.
Can I right click on something to let you know what sound card I have?
The computer is a dell inspiron 530 pentium dual core e5200 @2.5GHz 3GB RAM
32 bit
I think maybe some of the problem is with my enabling sharing in vista it is
confusing.
