Sound of AVR vs. separates
What kind of HDMI cable do you have between the Marantz receiver and your display device.  How long is the cable?  If it's a really long cable, it could be clipping the square waveforms.  What kind of display device. I have had issues in the past ... 
Baux Acoustic Panels?
Yeah, these are meant more for office type situations.  The coefficient of 0,9 means it absorbs 90% at 2000 hz.  This is mostly the high midrange and voice area.  It's meant to cut down slap echo and voice/noise in the office area.  The other freq...

Sounds like you got a defective HDMI transceiver/board in the Marantz.

Try connecting your Oppo or PS4 directly to your display (completely bypass the Marantz receiver).  See what 4K modes will work.  It could be similar to your Oppo/PS4 not being able to query the final display device for HDCP2.2 / 4K compatibility,... 
Best "laid-back" speaker cable & interconnects for all Naim system?
What interconnects and power cable are you using. Based on internal pics of your equipment, the Nait5 might be a higher-resolution device, where the Creek might be slower/warmer. I cannot state that for sure since I haven’t heard either equipment,...

@ethos4lyfe - have you tried upgrade the Oppo 203 firmware?  I see the following items in the last 2 firmware releases.Jan 20th release- Resolved an HDCP 2.2 failure when connecting to an HDCP 2.2 receiver and an older, non-HDCP 2.2 display.- Reso... 
Can a rca/xlr converter work in reverse??
Theoretically, it could be possible.  I don't know what's inside the Genelac di8a, but if it's just a conversion transformer, it could theoretically be possible.  However, you would have to modify an XLR cable to have two male ends.  Normally, an ... 
Which is better Krell KAV 500/5 vs. Krell Showcase 7
I would go with the Showcase 7.  The KAV 500 is older and this series sounded warmer with less resolution.    The Showcase 7 also has the newer pre-driver circuits.For the processor, if you can find an HTS 7.1 in good working condition, this is be... 
3 channel watching and 2 channel listening
Update power cables and interconnects.Interesting, what Marantz "receiver" do you have that has XLR balanced outputs?  I don't know of any receiver that has XLR outputs. 
Help w/ preamp
Bored today...so I did more research (and looking up stuff I already read).In trying to compare AVM60 to the 8802a, here are some comments:http://www.avsforum.com/forum/90-receivers-amps-processors/2004562-official-anthem-avm-60-thread-107.html#po... 
Various power cables, which would you put where?
The Furutech etp-60 is nice for a prebuilt distribution block and is probably a good value if you can get it cheap (there’s one on ebay for $199), but it uses the gold-plated FPX outlets and you still have to get a power cord to connect it to the ...

A note on HDMI cables.  I had been using a low cost cable that was supposed to be "Premium Certified" for 4K / 18Gbs bandwidth.  It was the lower cost Belden FE HDMI cables from Blue Jean Cable.  What I found was that it was smearing the sound (au... 
Help w/ preamp
First thing, I am not a 4K expert. I only know that if you want to support 4K with all the new features, you need to go with one of the big company items (i.e. Sony, Marantz, Anthem). There are some boutique companies supporting 4K, like Krell, Th... 
New Two Zone System - I'm out of my League
With HT Processor or AV Receiver, you can play the same source to both Zone 1 and Zone 2 at the same time.  Or you can play different sources t Zone 1 and Zone 2.  Zone 2 is handled completely separately from Zone 1 in the processor/receiver.  It ...

If your budget is really limited and you still want to get something better than the trip-light, then go down to Home Depot and look for something like this:https://www.amazon.com/Westinghouse-28374-3-Outlet-Outdoor-Extension/dp/B005XKCB1I/ref=sr_...
