Who does not need the video arts of Denon 2312, finds 5006 (800 euros) affordable Marantz SR in the construction of similar however 100 euros an appealing and with pre outs tipped alternative.
- AV receiver: Marantz SR 5006
- Data sheet
With its small portholes display the 800-Euro-Marantz to attract the HiFi friend of old school, not constantly zig shortcuts like to see. The screen menu appears also simple – even if it hardly less can show compared to the picture book of the DM group relative AVR 2312 (DM = Denon/Marantz).
Optional Marantz peripherals must dock about a multi contact M-xport and also look. So were most SR 5006 saved the S-video jacks. The front HDMI input was also at the SR 5006.
But now comes a huge – especially from a musical point of view – but. Because unlike the test competition the Marantz brings still an analog Multi channel input , providing a worthy port also a SACD player.
Even more important and more or less the incarnation of off 2-go 4-expansion idea (see stereoplay 1/09) are the pre outs for the right and left front channel, which allow a wired connection to a noble Stereoamp and thus bridge the gap to an already existing (expensive) stereo system.
This absolutely does not mean that Marantz knauserte in modern place. Via its Ethernet home network connection the SR 5006 don’t less like stretches FLAC downloads purely as the Denon, also with dynamics of 24 bits and 96 kilohertz clock. If necessary, USB-In with iPhone enters digital connection. Exclusively a switchable and the speaker output is available, and for front-up additional speakers can the Marantz summon process the appropriate Dolby ProLogic IIz feed – like the other candidates in the test also.
With his slightly peeved FM radio sound he had to but prefers the more open sounding Harman. Only during CD playback was a tie: something round, tasteful, but also restrained. The really watched the 5006 listeners corners and edges to spare, like a Schießhund, a tester was quoted even the word “cultured”.
Last’s also on Blu-ray-HD titles, enough to defeat the leichtsinnigeren Harman with stern cleanliness. To obtain fresher AVR 2312, impossible though. SR 5006 but has pre outs, and thus he says one day: those who can!

| Short conclusion | Who does not need the video arts of the Denon AVR 2312, can see an alternative in building similar SR 5006. Here more HiFi optics and especially pre outs happen when something gezügelterem sound. |
