Yes the 6012 and 7012 retain the 7.1 channel analogue inputs and although I don't know for sure, I see no reason for Marantz to drop DSD over HDMI.Anybody know if the 6012 and 7012 have retained the 7.1 multi channel analog audio inputs and DSD over HDMI that were on the 6011/7011? Can't seem to find this in the info so far. A shot of the rear panel would answer the first one!
I'm not sure what you mean by 'stuck at 7.1.4', as opposed to what?If the info in the article is correct we will remain stuck at 7.1.4 for yet another product cycle. Disappointing.

I have the Marantz AV7703 do you know if it will be able to get a firmware update for HLG and Dolby Vision?
Dante01 beat me to it, see above.@Steve Withers

No return of front wides, no increase in processed channels. I was hoping for 9.1.4 or at the very least the return of 9.1.2 as an option again as we had on the SR 7010.I'm not sure what you mean by 'stuck at 7.1.4', as opposed to what?

Interesting will those 13 processed channels support both 7.1.6 and 9.1.4?The upcoming Denon AVRX6400 will include processing for 13 channels, but only integral amplification for 11. You'll have to wait until spring of next year for Denon's new flagship model that will include both 13 channels of integral amplification and processing.

I'm currently doing 9.1.6 so looking forward to D&M processors that can do that using a single unit (+amps) in a few years instead of the 4 AVR solution I currently use.
Changed.I think your specs for the NR1508 are wrong. The Marantz website says it's 5 channel without Object Audio

I wondered that too. It was actually introduced on the X7200 and allows you to add delay to the LFE channel.SR7012 - what the hell is "bass synchronisation technology"?.
Yes, the AV7703 is scheduled an update for HLG and Dolby Vision compliance.

It is a shame as I use the 7010 and 6010 as well.Bugger my 7010 wont get to pass Dolby Vision,but never mind my TV is not Dolby Vision Comparable,it will be a few years yet before i can afford to change my TV.
But it mean another new receiver & UHD player
