I got the 6800 earlier this year and QMS was unceremoniously removed and e-arc is all but non functional. Is the marantz any better? The 6800 would also randomly go to a black screen and until you power cycled the device. Thankfully I was able to return the unit but at current pricing this kind of stuff is ridiculous. Why is my $4,000 HDMI switch so bad at HDMI switching?
