I jumped on this.. FYI this is not made in Japan like the 4800 - but it has a 2 yr warranty.

No. Sound identical. Buy whichever has the features you need. Both are best in class.

That question has A LOT of variables that play into that question.
In basic terms unless your speakers like power/ harder to drive and or listen at higher than normal levels you probably ok with the 3800.
If you have or plan to use any external amps there is no real difference.
Imo the extra $400 would be better spent getting Dirac Live & Dirac Live Bass Control than 4800.

I had high hopes going into this review thinking the company had seen the advantage its superior objective measurements in the past and would try to capitalize on them. Sadly, the reverse seems to be true with the DAC section taking a large step backward. Considering that the 3800 costs $500 more than 3700H, this is very surprising to me. Yes, inflation has a lot to do with that but surely the eye needed to be focused on making sure they at least met the same level of performance as last generation.
The good news is that the amplifier seems to be same design as last generation and has only taken a small hit.
Denon had been my "goto" recommendation for AVRs and even AVPs. When anyone asked me about either, I would just say "get a Denon AVR." While subjectively the performance of this new generation may be similar, I can't accept the regression in objective measured performance.
It is with much sadness that I cannot recommend the Denon AVR-X3800H. "
Are multi-channel "audio-only" processor/amps still made? I presume they are, but can any of them run Dirac (or similar)?
