Do the MRX 540, 740, and 1140 use the same DAC?

Yeah i might just see what marantz have to offer (most likely the same features) but I'll benefit from marantz on the music end because buyers swear marantz is perfect for music.

eARC and 2 channel stereo music listening that's about it. Movies sound just fine for me.

I have a denon x4200w. Is it worth upgrading to the 4700h since it has a 32 bit dac? Am I missing out on the Audyssey app as well to fine tune the graphs?

75-80 db is the volume I listen in terms of how loud I play music. I mean if there's a better dac in the node 2i I should be able to benefit the higher quality with tidal streaming at 1400kbps vs 256 or 320 that spotify offers.

I listen from 75-80 decibels and I listen to a lot of African House music so its a lot of mid and low bass involved. You don't think even a blusound node 2i would improve the music? I running Spotify straight from the avr itself.

Yeah I have a svs sb12nsd but I really only use it for movies now because I like the clean bass the ML 40 puts out. I have acoustic paneling 6 inches behind the speakers and yes I really don't need a bigger power amp but I just want it for longevity years to come... However, I wanted to...

Last month I bought a pair of Martin Logan 40 and the 50xt center speaker to go along with it and I love them so far. Now my question is would I benefit upgrading to a pre processor from a Denon x4200w I currently own for 4 years now? I already have a emotive A-300 powering my tower speakers but...

So i was going through my father's attic looking for stuff to sell. Then I remembered he had a old yammy reciever from the late 90s. So I hooked up the rx-v870 to my polk tsx 550t and boy the amplifier sounds wayy better and cleaner than my denon x4200w with a emotiva a300 used externally. So...

Denon, because it was my first avr other than a HTIB and haven't let me down in 3 years and counting. - It also drives 4ohm speakers really well before running out of steam.

And that's exactly what I was trying to do. Not what a computer thinks.

Im talking about the 5ch stereo mode of multi ch where all the speakers are playing I tried all 8 positions with Audyssey but it didn't make a difference when I tried 3 positions because I only have 3 positions where I listen from on my bed and couch. I just use the cheap cardboard stand denon...

I use stereo and sometimes multi ch stereo depending on the mood I'm for. The multi ch sounds good to me. I just use the channel trim level to match the front stage but I do turn down the center channel since it seems to hog 70% of the sound.

My towers and surrounds be extraordinary loud on the reference setting and it's fatiguing to the ear after 20 minutes or so. Yeah I could always just lower the ch levels but the sound coming out of the speakers just seems forced if you know what I mean. The drivers are working harder when I put...

I thought ARC was supposed to be the best REQ. Was planning to buy a Anthem AVR or maybe a Pre-Pro when they come out with a new lineup with HDMI 2.1 implemented.

After audyssey the levels on the speakers would be too loud like the speakers are pushing too hard for more power and i typically listen to a lot of African house lounge type of music. So basically there is a lot of tight bass involved. While for the bass after audyssey is too boomy. Yeah i do...

I see a lot of people praise Audyssey improving their speaker sound quality performance but in my case my 5.2 system sounds better when it's off for music. I prefer using the GEQ when listening to music. I turn Audyssey on during movies though because I noticed I get more dynamic effects coming...

I'll probably go with Marantz 8805 prepro with a Parasound Halo A51 amp as well as the A52 Plus in case I want to add more speakers (dobly Atmos) Keeping my current lsim 707s though. Polk may be a cheap brand but those speakers are on a category of it's own

I have two svs sbnsd subs but I just use the auto on feature.

No it's not that serious I just figured one of you guys would know since it's a popular choice of a conditioner.
