    I love this receiver! Plenty of power and it sounds great. The interface is cool but the online music streaming could be better, it's kind of slow.

    A top notch unit. The $20,000 rigs a just a shade better. We also have a Denon AVR-13112 and it has been a workhorse.

    Excellent .... simply excellent! I returned a Onkyo Tx-NR6100 and bought the Denon AVR-S970H instead ONLY because it had a better remote and DAC (32bit vs 24bit with the Onkyo). The sound quality is absolutely amazing!! I would have given this item a 5 star if it wasn't over-priced. However, what that said, I highly recommended this product .... especially for you Sony PS5 people like myself!

    Purchased this as an upgrade to prior Denon i owned. This is awesome and my wife noticed that its alot louder and better sound quality. I mainly purchased it for the passthrough fory PlayStation 5 and xbox serious X. I highly recommend this for anyone who wants a good quality receiver without the large price tag

    It has been a while since I purchased a receiver, but I needed one that included a 4K passthrough. This receiver really impressed me with the on-screen setup features, the integrated smartphone app, the sound quality, and the ability to seamlessly work with my television and my Apple TV. Admittedly, this receiver has more features than I will actually ever use. If you have a big format 4K (or even 8K) television and want great audio to match, this is definitely a worthwhile purchase.

    I'm very pleased with this receiver. My older Pioneer died so I was forced to upgrade. It's great to be able to finally connect my Apple TV 4K through the receiver rather than having to go through the TV / ARC. I also have a Pioneer Elite LX305 in my basement and I would have considered saving some money and going with this in that room as well if this model had been available.

    Fantastic unit with a lot of capabilities and functions with a bit of future proofing built in, from software\firmware updates to remote access. Tons of inputs and a number of outputs channels with power.

    This unit has awesome sound, and the Dolby Atmos works and sounds amazing. My only problem comes with listening to the dialog on movies and shows. The sound quality in that comes from the center channel is flat and a bit muffled at times. I will play with the sound and see if I cant add some some clarity and brightness to it. Otherwise, i am pleased with my purchase.

    Works fantastic! I am running multiple consoles and a PC though it onto a 85 inch TV, typically it knows when to swap to the next input when i change what console I'm using. I use it for surround sound for streaming and in house multi-player gaming. Love how Denon products can connect to each other so when you are hosting a get together at home in my example i can group both recievers so both my upstairs and downstairs surround play the same with no delay or difference! Some settings take a little to figure out but with help everything can be dialed in.

    Good receiver for the price. Works great in 2.1 mode. Surround mode clarity depends on audio track quality. It do not improve sound in old movies, but really crispy and punchy in new films recorded in full Dolby Atmos.
