Customers consistently note the exceptional sound quality of the 13.2 Channel Pre-Amp, describing it as "True Hi End" and praising its discrete sound with crystal clear clarity. However, some users have experienced issues with HDMI sync.
This marantz preamp exceeded all of my expectations. It is feature rich, the setup is easy and the setup menu is straightforward.

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!

I paired this Marantz preamp with my McIntosh amplifier, and the result is nothing short of outstanding. The clarity, warmth, and balance in the sound are exactly what I was hoping for. It brings out the best in every genre I throw at it—jazz, rock, classical—you name it. Build quality is solid, the controls feel premium, and setup was a breeze. If you’re on the fence about whether this preamp can keep up with a high-end setup, don’t be. It absolutely delivers. Highly recommended for serious audiophiles who care about rich, immersive sound.
