Looks great, sounds great and has all the latest features and codecs. Alexa integration is pretty weak but that’s about the only negative I can think of. I upgraded from a Denon 3300x mainly for the extra 2 channels so I can run a full 5.1.4 setup with Atmos. Haven’t really been able to tell much of a difference in Audio quality over the older unit but more channels and more power can’t be a bad thing!

I just upgraded my 6 year old high end Marantz receiver for this and I am impressed! The Heos app puts all your streaming services in one place. Movies are great with dolby atmos and music is well, musical. I'm sure some separates are better, but for the money, this Denon is great. Easy set up, tons of options to tweak as well.

Replaced an older Denon AVR with this one. Got it on sale and very happy with it. Easy to set up. Great with movies and classics rock.

I've never owned a Denon receiver. I've always been a Pioneer type of guy. I have a Pioneer Elite 7.2 receiver still but decided to go with this receiver to try something new. Read several reviews from online and the great help I got with several employee's at Best Buy. Once I got it hooked up to my new system and watched my first movie. I was blown away on the difference I heard with this receiver. It blew my Pioneer out of the water and would recommend this to anyone. I know the price is high but it went on sale 2 weeks after I bought it so saved some dough on that. So if you are deciding on Pioneer or Denon I would go with Denon. It has plenty of power to run my Klipsch speakers.

Purchased this receiver a month ago because I wanted to add more speakers to my config and needed something capable of Atmos. Setup was very easy and the receiver included a label kit for cables making disconnecting things a breeze. Very impressed with the Audyssey equalizer and the features of this receiver. Sound quality is great after running Audyssey calibration. Dynamic EQ is enabled by default and sounds great. DEQ increases bass and surround using an algorithm when listening below reference level to create a more cinema like sound. This is different from Dynamic Volume which uses algorithms to increase quieter dialog and limit louder sounds. For 4K, be sure to enable 4K Signal Fmt -> Enhanced in order to pass HDR, etc. There are a lot of other features and since everyone has a different room and speaker configuration, they are worth experimenting with.
