The model SR7012 is definitely better, it is more powerful and there are more channels. If we compare power – SR7012 is 950 W, while that of the SR5013 is 700 W. The Marantz SR5013 can convert analog signals to digital form and scale video with SD resolution up to HD / 4K UltraHD, allowing you to breathe new life into old recordings.
Being one step above the SR7012 delivers exceptional sound and video quality through its 9 channels, full 4K UltraHD support, HEOS integration and a full range of exciting audio formats, including Dolby Atmos, DTS: X and Auro-3D.
With support for the standard HDCP 2.2 g, both receivers can play 4K resolution video on a monitor connected via HDMI. Also, the devices have 4 HDMI inputs but Marantz SR7012 versus SR5013 has 3 HDMI output.
Marantz SR7012 is equipped with a variety of software products designed to adjust the sound. In particular, sound calibration depending on the characteristics of the room is performed using the AccuEQ interface. With modest equipment, SR5013 is endowed with the most important: an excellent block of amplifiers and decoders of the most popular formats of multi-channel audio tracks. This is quite enough for the enjoyment of movie screenings in a normal living room.

It is very difficult to compare two similar receivers. Marantz SR5013 characterized by excellent workmanship. The design of both devices is traditional and recognizable. These receivers have the same sleek, well-defined design. Buttons and knobs look pretty attractive. Extra wires are not present, the wiring is made very carefully, and the transformer is securely screwed to the base.
