Thanks - I didn’t realize my Marantz could play DSD files. Thank you for pointing that out. I will throw a few on a USB and plug it into the Marantz to test. I‘m new to home theater systems - I keep finding cool new stuff the Marantz can do. In the meantime I’ve mostly been listening to FLAC...

Also enjoying the room for listening to high resolution 2 channel music. Thought I would post this video I found about playing DSD files. He suggests the Audirvana player. I‘m going to give it a try.

There is a front row so technically the HT seats six humans. When all the human seats are full the dogs curl up on the floor.

Everyone is seated for the movie.... Really enjoyed the new HT over the Thanksgiving holiday!

I upgraded my Home Theater to near completion of what I am calling "Phase 1". Thought I'd post an update: - I added a rear set of 3 theater-style motorized recliners on 7.75" risers forming the back row (2 rows total). The couch (which forms the front row) is a sleeper sofa. We use this...

I received a "Lurker" trophy? -- so I guess I need to be more "talkative". Here's a bit of my story... I've wanted a home theater for a long time but never got it together. Numerous past attempts were scuttled due to lack of time and the challenge of open floor plans. I recently bought a new...

Ok thanks - well it works great through the Roku stick. I'll just keep using it that way.

Beginner question. My TV just came in yesterday (LG OLED 83"). It has eARC out and I thought I could just run that into one of the HDMI inputs on the Marantz to send the sound to the unit to play through the amps/speakers. So my thought was to use the WIFI and streaming apps built into the TV...

Ended up getting a Marantz AV7705. The model is discontinued but I found a factory refurbished one for ~$1800. I've only had it for a week or so - but so far I'm pretty happy with it. Does anyone know the difference between the 7705 vs the current 7706 model?

Thanks for the replies. Searching ‘atmos preamps’ i see in addition to marantz an Trinnov (two names I’m familiar with) there are some others: anthem, rotel, arcam, nad (sure there are more still) - Any general advice on these brands? any ones to avoid? Inherent strengths/ weaknesses...

Budget? Not sure I know enough yet to set a budget. I did write down an preliminary list of the powered speakers I‘m considering and it totaled north of $12,000. But making a lists and plunking down the cash are two different things. We will see…

Never built a home theater system before so looking for some help finding the right hdmi decoding ”device”. So far I’ve only purchased the TV (TCL 75” Class 6 Roku TV. Model: 75R635). My plan is to run all powered speakers so I don’t need an amp (or a classic AVR). I will run audio (via the...
