If I'm not mistaken, the first few Marantz SACD players with HDMI did not output DSD, even while some of their receivers with HDMI input such as the SR5004 and SR6004 could handle the signal. That has now changed: New players like the UD5005 and UD7006 can deliver DSD but Marantz' recent receivers like the SR6005, SR7005 and even the AV7005 no longer support it. The same is true for the newest SR5006 and SR6006.
Surely 176.4 kHz 24-bit 5.1ch PCM will not sound bad but it seems like the left hand doesn't know what the right hand is doing (read: product management of the SACD/BD players on the one hand and that of AV receivers on the other). |
