Rolling Stones: Grrr!      (2 of 3 found this review helpful)
  July 29, 2014

With so many tracks there are some that are of poor quality. Just grab a marker and jot down the good ones on the front of the disk, I counted at least 17 or so 5-star tracks I would demo to any audiophile friend. Get it, you will not regret it.

The sound engineers left a "hole" in the center of the stage, don't worry, a tiny one, otherwise just perfect. Sonically otherwise very very good. The music is great, very involving, makes you want to dance all along.

The first song starts with "Dans son cerveau, deux hémisphères, le gai est le triste" and from there on the poetry continues. Bittersweet tunes with rhythm and personality in this so beuatifully complex romance language. The music is also great. The sound is sublime, stereo that projects into ... more

Uncompressed music lovers beware: From Secrets of HT and HF: "Here's the test that was the most surprising of all. When Audyssey MultEQ XT32 is enabled, the AV8801 downsamples the input signal to 24 bit, 48 kHz which results in all information beyond that frequency being discarded. This behavior is not specific to the AV8801, but to all current ... more
Onkyo PR-SC5530 Engineered for Hi-res Audio

I ordered the Marantz AV8801 based on the improved analog stage as I am without Atmos aspirations. The Stereophile and Secrets (of HT and HF) reviews but mainly auditioning convinced me. ... more
