    @Emlyn. Just wanted to say thank you for your input. You obviously did some research on my personal gear which in turn got me to do more research on my processor. Although all other input was informative, yours included the most pinpoint suggestion, and I thank you.
    Set up: 11.2 HT + 2ch

    AVP: Marantz AV8802A - Sources: BRP Panasonic UB9000/CDP Emotiva ERC 3 - DAC: Denafrips Venus - Display: LG OLED EVO 83 C3 - Amplification: Emotiva XPA-DR3, XPA-6, XPA-2 x 2 - Speakers: Focal/PolkAudio, Mains/2ch - Kanta No2, C - Sopra, SS - LSiM702, WS - RTiA9, RS - RTiA9, FH - RTiA3 - Subs: Epik Empires x 2

    Cables: Mogami AES from CDP to DAC - AQ McKenzie XLR from DAC to AVP to amp for 2ch, Emotiva XLR's for the rest - Douglasconnection: Furutech Alpha 36 12g speaker wire for 2ch, Furez 10x2/Canare 4S11 speaker wire for the rest - AQ Forest48 HDMI for the display, AQ Carbon48 HDMI from BRP to AVP - VR3 filtered power cables for CDP, BRP and AVP, Emotiva power cables for the amps - AudioQuest 707 power conditioner.

    EXPERIENCE: next to nothing, but I sure enjoy audio and video MY OPINION OF THIS HOBBY: I may not be a smart man, but I know what quicksand is.

    It might be worth the try to get the Rotel CD11 Tribute CD player...
    I'd try it straight out of the Marantz 8802A as well.
