    Good receiver but spec is a little inaccurate.

    The receiver itself is good, however, the full specs defined by Best Buy say that it has a satellite tuner built-in, however, that is not the case. You must use the HEOS app from your phone or use SiriusXM from your phone via bluetooth or airplay. I verified this with Denon directly.

    Worst purchase I every made I'm going to stick with Yahama next time. Easier setup and allows passthrough of all sources and HEOS is horrible can't get Sirius XM to work even with Denon tech support

    A great upgrade to S760H. The bass is refined and has little clarity to the details. The UI is far better than the older versions. So far happy with the performance.

    This receiver is a good deal. I purchased this to replace my Yamaha which would not power on anymore. And I think between the two this is a better option..
