Today, there are more SSP options on the market, but few of them are as up-to-date as the AV7702. A big reason for the aggressive pricing is that Marantz based their SSP off of an A/V receiver (AVR) platform. When Chris Heinonen reviewed the Marantz AV7701 in 2013, he noted that Marantz was one of the few companies offering an SSP at an aggressive price. Introduction to the Marantz AV7702 Surround Sound Processor Review Gain structure makes pairing with high-gain amps or high-efficiency speakers difficult.

While Dolby Surround and Auro-3D are amazing for movies, they are a step back from Dolby Pro Logic IIx (not included) or Logic7 (Harman proprietary) for music.Stable and consistent implementation of Audyssey room correction.

The AV7702 can stream music from AirPlay or Bluetooth sources, and offers a comprehensive array of streaming options over its wireless or wired network connection. It can decode practically every digital audio format ever created, including multichannel DSD. The Marantz AV7702 uses Audyssey’s flagship Platinum audio processing suite. The AV7702 also includes Audyssey DSX and dts Neo:X upmixers, but deletes Dolby Pro Logic II. Both upmixers synthesize an immersive 3D soundfield from a stereo or multichannel recording. In addition to Atmos and (optionally) Auro immersive sound, the AV7702 includes the new Dolby Surround and (optionally) Auro-3D upmixers. Marantz’s new AV7702 surround sound processor (SSP) maintains that tradition by being one of the first SSPs to support Dolby Atmos and (optionally) Auro immersive sound, which Secrets’ Chris Eberle recently discussed in depth in “Dolby Atmos and Auro 3D: The Technology and The Reality.” The Marantz AV7702 also features a very clear and intuitive setup routine, an excellent iOS Remote Control app, and distinctive styling. Marantz is in their seventh decade of providing high-performance audio equipment, and in that time they’ve often pushed the envelope, especially in surround sound.
