The sound is quite warm, I have it connected to various formats such as, sacd, minidisc cassette tape, laser disc easy to control from the smart phone or remote control, a little complicated to select the correct impedance for the speakers, in general it is of good quality

I got this a few months back and does it jam!! Wanted 100watts per chn with a modern classic quality and this was definitely it. Very happy with it paired with klipsch towers R-800f and they sound very beautiful deep bass have my towers about 8 inches from the wall to get the bass response i need. Very easy to use airplay is a breeze turning it on with the app makes everything simple and easy to use. I like that im able to hook up to tv through hdmi if i want. Easy to tune bass treble balance knobs like the classics and can be done via app and lets not forget the direct mode for a more analog sound to get the true sound of your speaker quality.

So this is my fourth Denon receiver since 1990. In the last 8 weeks I bought two sony receivers most recent the AN1000 and returned it. I bought the Denon DRA 800H and didn’t like the quirky reviews. After extensive research I settled on the DRA900H. I will have an update in a couple months because I just fired this up this morning but boy is it nice. I just wanted a throw back two channel and this is sweet. The best part is Denon’s service which should be an essential part of your decision. Yes I was having an issue making the Bluetooth connection and I called and Robert was most amazing for he called me twice to assist me in the connection. I did also connect the Klipsch 10” sub and my mains are Klipsch RP8000f and boy does this system rock. Cut through all the static if you’re looking for at 100 wpc and two channel receiver…GET THIS ONE!

I bought this for my bedroom. It’s hooked up to a pair of Wharfdale bookshelf speakers and a10 inch subwoofer. It was easy to setup. Love the app to control player. It’s sounds really good. My only gripe is no loudness or nightmode which does the same thing, to give it that extra kick. Overall, very happy with this receiver.

Great sounding STEREO amp with plenty of connectivity for streaming music also. Very happy with it.

I purchased this for a 2.1 living room setup. I run an input to the tv and another to a turn table. It has plenty of power for most speakers. Since I had an additional power amplifier laying around and speakers that benefit from the extra power (kef r3), I use the pre outs instead of the internal amplifier. The one downside, this does not have Audyssey. Even without, I would strongly recommend this.

If you are looking for a good pure stereo system for your home this is the unit for you. I upgraded from a 35 year old stereo system to the Denon and was very pleased with the features, connectivity and sound for the DRA-900H.

If you’re looking for a Hi-Fi 2.2ch stereo receiver, then this is the one. It’s set up like most multi-channel theater receivers so it can do what they can with less speakers. It has 4 speaker outputs for A and/or B plus pre-outs for Zone2 and subwoofers. It has plenty of analog, digital, and 4K inputs along with an 8K TV output. The amp is 100w per channel and that is plenty to bust your drums. Invest into quality speakers like large bookshelves or towers and add a sub (or two) if desired. It will do everything you probably need without having to wire surround sound. If you’re mostly into music on CD or LP, then you’ll need to connect a TV or monitor to change important settings for speakers and other defaults that you may not need running all the time if you don’t stream. It’s overkill for my 2.1ch stereo needs, but most receivers are. However, this one has the juice to really perform at an affordable price.

This worked well for 4-5 months. Then we started having a hard time connecting via AirPlay. Then everything stopped working: (1) would not pass on satellite tv signal; (2) would not play music via AirPlay or Bluetooth; and (3) would not play sound from eArc cable from tv. Mailed in yesterday to a certified repair center for hopeful warranty repair. Hope it gets fixed under warranty. Disappointed that it broke in under a year given the brand and price point.

Documentation is poor. Some features are difficult how to figure out how to set up.

Was perfect, 'til it wasn't. Gave this as a Christmas gift, 2 weeks later, it won't power on. Contacting Best Buy for warranty or return possibilities now.

Easier to set up and more compatible than the 1800 model.
DawnP Posted
Great stereo and Martin Logan speakers, except I need the Tower Speakers too. My old stereo and speakers had subwoofer in them. Not all these Seperate components. Will be back to add too.

This AVR is quite powerful for its size. It has no issues powering my ML B10s. HEOS integration is amazing. Would definitely recommend.
