Absolutely amazing! I had an older 100x/channel Onlyo 2 channel receiver that this has taken the place of, and I couldn’t be more happy. My speakers sound warmer, livelier, and more dynamic than ever. I just wish I would have upgraded sooner. Great work Denon! If you’re looking for a 2 channel receiver that makes your music sound sing, and your movies rip, look no further.

Boy, I love my new receiver! It is driving two legacy ADS 1290/2s and they never sounded so good. It is replacing a 30 year old Sony receiver and has about the same power rating. But the Denon is driving my four woofers with greater power and depth. I tried out the system with and without a subwoofer and decided it sounded just fine without the subwoofer. I never thought an amp would make much difference in the sound but the Denon really makes my 40 year old speakers shine. I like the HEOS app on my phone but also plugged a Chromecast Audio into the Denon so that I can control it with my laptop when the phone is not around. I am fortunate to have my Denon near a satellite router and used a wired ethernet connection. Entering my WiFi password was going to take some time and I'm glad I could skip it. The Denon has a USB input on the front panel. I got a low profile 256GB flash drive and filled it with FLAC files. I use this when my network gets flakey and drops out. (I wish I knew why). The remote control is easy to use. The front panel display is easy to read. I read reviews that said the Denon runs hot. Mine is not hot. Just fine.

I cam from a regular amp that had no features. This one is amazing, so many features. Dont know how to use it yet but I will. I love it! I hall the Polk xt20’s paired with this on stands and its all perfect. I might add the mxt12 sub from Polk later. My Polk xt20’s are new as well and those are amazing too!

Been wanting a HDMI compatible amp for quite a while. Without getting into four figure pricing. It was between this and an Onkyo. After reading many reviews and talking with some mid-fi folks, Denon won. Love the flexibility of inputs... HDMI, RCA, PHONO STAGE. I'm not a home theater guy, but do watch many movies through this thing and very good sound. Brings my vinyl to life (via a Rane mixer) and even made me resurrect my cds. Great unit, no noticeable sound issues / distortion. Drives some old Pinnacle speakers just fine. Yes, I said Pinnacle.

I needed a modern stereo receiver with strong amplifiers. This works great. Relatively easy set up. Good flat sound response. Only negatives are Bluetooth range is not very far and playing CDs has some odd video/shutoff issue about 3-4 songs into the ssssion.
