Disbeliever Posted July 7, 2017 Posted July 7, 2017 (edited) With a 5.0 set-up using AVR pre into stereo power amp , is it worthwhile to buy a more expensive AVR than Marantz SR 6011, sounds very good with Sony XA5400ES playing mch SACDs. Edited July 7, 2017 by Disbeliever omission
DoggieHowser Posted July 7, 2017 Posted July 7, 2017 The SR6011 is a nice sounding AVR to start with. But the 7011's AKM DACs do imho take it up a notch. I think the 6012 coming end of this year will get the AKM DACs as standard.
Disbeliever Posted July 7, 2017 Author Posted July 7, 2017 Both 6011/7011 have latest MK 3 HDAMS used in the reference PM10 amp & SA10 spinner. used only as a pre-pro I doubt if the 32 bit dac will make much of improvement. I bought the 6011 for £649 reduced from £1100 which the forthcoming 6012 will cost on release.difficult to tell without trying them side by side.
