Wonderful sound processor for music and movies!
An all around big improvement over my previous audiophile sound processors, this one was unexpectedly user friendly with its labeled HDMI inputs and especially its graphic setup interface. Very happy with my purchase!

Best Preamplifier ever made by Marantz
I had been a huge fan of Marantz and its user for more than 10 years and I used to own 7 series before( SR7012, SR7015 etc) and I never had a chance to own the Flagship Series i.e. 8 series, And recently I had upgraded my home theater to PreAmp and Power-amps and I initially purchased AV7706 and I was not satisfied 100% and I felt it lacked the umphff feel and the sound staging lacked the scalability and power and it was very sounding average. Until Last week when I had planned to try this AV8805A and oh my god what a remarkable difference, The entire music now feels so powerful, satisfying and vast difference from AKM DAC's used in 7706 and the architecture used in 8805A (ESS Sabre 32bit DAC's) with 2 OP-AMPS for every 1 channel is so good and this HDAM architecture makes the sound feel so discrete providing the ultimate channel separation with crystal clear clarity. I highly recommend this PREAMP for all the Audiophile lovers and this is the only AMP within 6000 USD range and also having Balanced XLR inputs, and I also hooked up my newest Audio Streamer I purchased from ListenUp and the sound quality is Fantabulous , and mind blowing . I highly recommend to buy from Bestbuy one of the signature Hifi Dealers and shipment was neatly double boxed and safely delivered. 5/5 stars experience
