As other reviewers, I received AV7705
Very happy with sound quality for both 2-channel music and 7-channel theater => 5 * rating
I found HEOS unable to access .WAV served by a Plex server on a Synology NAS so plan to use a Raspberry Pi 4 with Kodi using NFS to play music from a central server.
7-channel theater performance excellent with Sony UBP X800M2 as source, new Emotiva Gen3 XPA-7 for amplification and ~20-year-old Thiel CS .5 main/Wharfedale Diamond 8 Center/Rear/Surround speakers.
2-channel music performance is excellent with Parasound zCD and very good (bass a tad lacking) with Project Debut Carbon DC Esprit SB/Carbon /Ortofon 2M Red via Musical FIdelity V90 LPS preamp.
No compatibility issues with any HDMI source component to date

11.2 Channel Full 4K Ultra HD Network AV Surround Pre-Amplifier
Experience the most versatile home theater setup with the new Marantz AV7704 processor/pre-amplifier. It combines the unique Marantz audiophile sound with all the home cinema technologies, including Dolby Vision compatibility, HLG, and all 3D surround sound formats already built-in.
For those building the ultimate home entertainment system, the AV7704 is a no-compromise 11.2-channel AV processor and pre-amplifier, designed for use with high-quality external power amplification or active speakers. It takes on board all the latest features, including Dolby Vision compatibility, unparalleled 3D surround sound decoding and HEOS music streaming, but dispenses with the internal amplification, allowing all the design and engineering within to be dedicated to producing the purest possible sound, and avoiding any possible interference from powerful amplifier sections creeping into the delicate digital and analog signal sections.
Sophisticated Engineering
AV7704 is designed to be used with high-quality external power amplifiers like the Marantz MM8077, MM7055 and MM7205. It has 11.2-channel preouts on both conventional RCA sockets and balanced XLRs. It has been designed not just as a superb AV processor but also as an extraordinary analog preamplifier, with a specially designed analog audio circuit board using Marantz HDAM technology. This preamp section is designed for optimal channel separation, minimal crosstalk and enhanced signal to noise ratio for precise detail resolution and stereo imaging, while an oversized power supply for the analog section, using audiophile-grade ELNA capacitors, ensures excellent power and dynamic ability.
Latest HDMI Connectivity; HDCP 2.2 Compatible
With 8 HDMI inputs, including one conveniently located on the front panel for quick connection of video sources, and triple HDMI outputs, the AV7704 has an advanced video section supporting the latest HDMI specification, including 4K Ultra HD 60Hz video, 4:4:4 Pure Color sub-sampling, BT.2020 and HDR (High Dynamic Range) pass-through support on every input. Dolby Vision compatibility, as well as HLG (Hybrid Log Gamma), new HDR format for broadcasting, pass-through capability are newly supported.
It also features HDCP 2.2 compatibility, for 4K Ultra HD copy-protected content, on all HDMI inputs making it ready for the next generation of Blu-ray disc players, set-top boxes and 4K Ultra HD streams and downloads. The video processor can also upscale SD and HD video content to full 4K Ultra HD, breathing new life into your favorite legacy sources.
Three HDMI outputs are provided - two for the main zone, so you can run a TV and projector in parallel, and one for a second zone.
Amazon Music HD
High-quality warmth meets cool new tech. With Marantz and Amazon Music Ultra HD, you always get the highest resolution stream available across millions of songs.
HDMI eARC Object-based Audio Support
eARC (Enhanced Audio Return Channel) supports the transmission of 3D audio from your TV apps with a single HDMI connection for the simplest setup. This feature will be enabled via a future firmware update.
Built-in Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and AirPlay 2 Capability
Featuring Bluetooth & Wi-Fi wireless streaming connectivity, the AV7704 is equipped with an advanced dual antenna transceiver system, for robust streaming even in congested urban environments.
