With up to 15.4 channels, the Marantz AV10 allows the same configurations as the Denon AVC-A1H and shares various software features, such as dual room calibration and the new graphical user interface. As a dedicated preamplifier, however, the AV10 goes a step further, boasting a sophisticated design with copper chassis, advanced HDAM modules, a toroidal transformer, and exceptionally high-quality components.
Decoder for Dolby Atmos, Auro3D, DTS-X Pro, MPEG-H, iMAX
40 Gbps HDMI section with 7/3 for up to 4K/120 FPS or 8K/60 FPS
Audyssey MultEQ XT32 fully licensed
Dirac Live available at extra cost
Recommendation:
The Marantz AV10 could prove to be a suitable preamplifier for audiophiles who enjoy listening in Pure Direct mode and appreciate the highest resolution and detail in their home theater setup. Another advantage is its ease of use via setup wizards. The AV10 will likely not feature digital crossovers or manual equalizers and will be limited to two sound profiles, thus maintaining a distinction from professional preamplifiers. However, in terms of sheer build quality, the AV10 is poised to set a new all-time record in its class.
