After the Marantz, the Home Theater Master line was my favorite.
The issue was really the programming took a little while to learn, but once set up was great. They may be outdated in their firmware now as well.
I tried a Logitech with USB programming, and while the idea was decent, the execution was flawed. Using a web based interface, which crashed or hung the remote left me supremely frustrated. Also it didn't work like I use and listen to music and movies, which is randomly. :)
I also have a Samsung tablet with IR control, and I could not find a good app. They all had really difficult UI's. Usually now I use the preamp remote plus the Oppo Media Control app on my android devices.
