For the record, I don't have one and no first hand experience.

"I've already reported in recent weeks on various issues LG's OLED TVs have had handling the output of Nvidia's RTX 30 graphics cards (despite these TVs being the most advanced gaming TVs on the market). Now it appears that next-gen gaming trouble lies in store, too, for the latest AV receivers from Marantz, Denon and Yamaha."
"The cause of the problems, it's alleged, is a known bug in the Panasonic Solutions HDMI chips the AVRs use (Panasonic Solutions is now under the ownership of Nuvoton Technology). The bug apparently affects the way HDMI 2.1's Fixed Rate Link (FRL) feature works - and unfortunately, early investigations suggest that the problem cannot be fixed by a mere firmware update.
It appears possible, too, that the problem could spread to other next gen game-friendly AVRs on their way from Onkyo, Sony and Pioneer, as these brands have supposedly also bought in the faulty HDMI chip.
UPDATE: I approached Yamaha and Sound United for comment, and while Yamaha has so far only stated that it is looking into it, since I first published this article Sound United has provided a detailed response that includes two confirmed 'workarounds' for the HDMI issue."
Had both in similar price range.

I posted the Stereo United website, but it doesn't appear to come up at the moment. Above is from another site.
I purchased an X4700H recently with the bug-free chip, and it's been working flawlessly with my XSX.
Thats BS.
What is a night and day difference is the xt32 and the app vs the lower tier audyssey on the marantz which is unusable

The Denon measures better, but I'd say either brand sounds comparable. The X4700H I own sounds accurate with movies and music. I also own a Marantz NA6006 to stream from my home server (which humorously, goes thru an analog stage of the Denon) and gotta say I love the sound... of either (or both).

Need the denon x3700h to go below 1k
