Just starting a thread to help new owners of the 7011 and 6011.
And also to help them decide if the new models are worth the difference over the old ones.
What's new in the 6011 & 7011 & 7703:
The SR6011 and 7011 both use CS49844A - a quad core DSP vs 4xAnalog Devices DSP in the 6010/7010.
Other changes include
- AKM 4458VN DAC on the 7011 vs the 4458 (non VN variant) on the older 7010
- LEGO 11bgn WiFi chipset (2.4/5GHz) on 7011 and CY920 11bgn chipset on the 6011 vs a generic b/g 2.4GHz on the xx10
- supports DSD 5.6MHz on both USB and Audio Decoding
- Rhapsody, Spotify, SoundCloud, TIDAL, Amazon Prime (via HEOS) vs just Spotify
- slightly more flexibility in Amp Assign for Zone 2/3
- wider range for audio delay (500ms vs 200ms)
- Made in Vietnam vs Made in China
- 0.3kg heavier (70xx) and 1.1kg heavier (60xx) - which I suspect is due to HEOS and 2 more amp models respectively
