I have the 8802A and it is imho very very good. I love the AKM4490 discrete DACs in the Marantz for each channel. The 8805 is just out so you might be able to pick up the 8802A on clearance.

I have tried passing through the Oppo 205 before but it can be a bit clunky and I had sync issues with my projector until I decided to upgrade from my 8801 to the 8802.

The 8801 doesn’t do Atmos or DTSX so it’s not worth using it to get 11 channel audio.


I did consider 8802A, but decided to stick to my 8801, because I don’t want to spend more on my HT systems. 8801 is already good enough to me. I don’t care too much about new audio formats, but do care about channel count. I am still enjoying a McIntosh MX121 (which is “worse” than 8801) in my another HT system
