As a general, VERY basic FYI for folks here who will soon have a Denon in their possession. Probably the enthusiasts here already know this:

Denon AVRs support Audyssey, which is Denon + Marantz's room audio correction system. There are 2 different levels, Audyssey XT and XT32, with XT32 being the higher level. This is baked into the AVR, so it cannot be upgraded. It's definitely worth running, to see if the acoustics of your particular room can be taken into account. It can be switched on and off if you hate the results. The higher end models allow for 2 different calibrations to be stored in the AVR, so you can switch quickly between the 2.

In addition to the Audyssey calibration you perform through the AVR's UI, there is also an app, MultEQ, available on both Apple and Android. This is $20. It allows for a much higher degree of customization than the AVR alone. It probably is worth buying if you want to tweak the settings more reliably.

On top of that, there is a Windows app, MultEQ-X. This is a fair investment @ $199, though sometimes it goes on sale for $149. This allows a ton of customization. For example, with newer models, you can re-run a calibration just for a single speaker if you change it or even move it to a different location. This price is far cheaper than any of the DIRAC add-ons that are available for the higher-level AVRs.

Very importantly, the computer app is LOCKED to a specific AVR, and your Microsoft userid. So you cannot transfer it to another Denon when you upgrade. You cannot move it from your userid to another. It requires another purchase. The phone app is not locked and you may use it with any AVR.

The best tip I learned, after it was too late for me, is if you choose to purchase MultEQ-X, is to create a specific Microsoft userid JUST for that app and AVR. That way, when you sell it, you can throw that in as a carrot.

​Hope this is useful for some here.

Yes it would but to the point of overkill.
You would be paying for features you don't need and or use(ie object based codecs, 4 extra channels).

Since you only need 5 channels I would suggest looking for a slightly older AVR that includes features you need.
This will cost you much less and most likely a higher tier AVR.
Can you recommend a few older receivers? I have a 5.1 setup. I'm looking for a receiver that can handle 4k streaming to my Sony 65XBR, my ps4 and stream music.

i got the 1400h from A4L a few years back it was good and never had issues, but just picked up the 970h for 399 on adorama recently and much more of a value and same features pretty much as the "in command" line.
I'm not sure I would agree but much depends on priorities.

Extra two channels & process 11,full 11 assignable preouts, XT32, Dirac Live option, 4 independent sub outs,sub EQ HT are some big differences.

Here is a good comparison.

That's the 5% I'd never use. Obviously everyone's setup is different, but there are zero features in a 3800h that I need over my 3300w in my 5.2.2 / 4k OLED setup. Especially for about a $1k difference.
Yes true hence why I said it may not be a fair comparison.

With a 5.2.2 setup no reason to be looking at the 3800, it's overkill.

Onkyo tx sr805 go for around $150. They are over 50 pounds. Only down side to using an older receiver is you need a 4k splitter that will send 4k to the tv and 2k to the receiver.

Depending on your budget, Denon X1x00 can be found for about $150. Get a 1400 or newer for eARC. If you can stretch to a $400 budget, x3x00 would be the best. Audessey MultiEQ XT32 is very good at room correction. Look for an x3400 or newer.

Anyone upgrade from the 2700 model? I have that one but cant stand I need to use a secondary box to get the HDMI 4K working correctly with my XBOX. What other upgrades does the 2800 have over the 2700?

If I'm looking to do 5.1.4 with a stereo zone 2 on my patio will the x4800h be good enough or should I look to step up to the x6700h? I currently have an x3400h doing 5.1 and stereo zone 2. Basicly I want to add atmos speakers in the near future.

Looks like it only applies to 5:
X2800h($799),X2700H($649),X4700h($1299),X6700h($1999),DRA-800h($479).

If you prefer Denon, have you considered either 3600/3700?

Does the 4800 or 6700 give you a benefit worth the higher price?

I would also suggest to wait until you actually need it, price may drop on whichever you choose by then.

Wish there was such a thing as a wireless HEOS amp.

Right and frustratingly the x2800h could work with its zone 2 preouts and a little amp but there is no trigger and I don't want to hack something together. I guess I keep waiting for the 3800 deal
