7.1 4 k Processor Rec


All. Looking to replace my McIntosh MX121 with a new processor that can decode 7.1 and 4k. I’d like to spend less than $3k and buy used. I don’t see Atmos or 8k in my near future. I will have limited 2 ch listening.

I’d appreciate any suggestions.

Good luck. At that price I cant recommend a McIntosh piece but thats what I would do , find a pre owned McIntosh that does what you need  or bite the bullet and buy new.

If you can find a used one :

Bryston SP3 Surround Processor.

 

Also :  Rotel RSP  1576 MKii

I like Anthem for sound quality, but the EQ/DSP capabilities are generally lacking IMHO compared to Marantz but this may be something only a DSP geek like me might care about.  The advanced Audessey versions let you hand craft DSP curves.
