Denon is recognized as a leading manufacturer of quality audio electronics, and this unit is a great example. Fantastic AVR with the needed features for a complete Atmos configuration that will sound GREAT. Price was great and delivery was fast.

This receiver works very well. Smart enough to switch to the correct mode when different inputs are detects. Plenty of power for a full home theater system. Works well with KEF speakers. At the member sale price of $1200 it’s a great value.

I have nothing really to compare it to. I loved my old receiver but the hdmi 1.4 was holding it back. I have no complaints about this new receiver.

We haven't purchased anything "stereo" since the 80's. Boy, things have changed. We now own a beautiful Denon. This is so wonder. The soulful sound flows through the entire house with clarity. I am in love with music again.

Denon - AVR-X3800H powers my multi speaker basement and sounds pretty awesome. Having multiple zones in a great option. It was great to be able to listen to this gem in store in the demo room with the speakers in house.

Solid Sound Quality But Lacking in Streaming Audio

The setup process is pretty straight forward and easy even for novice audiophiles. The build and sound quality as well as the flexibility to support many different setups is great.
However, Denon needs to step up their app control and convenience. The Denon app looks like it was developed 10 years ago and can be slow to respond. Additionally the HEOS app to control streaming audio is just a poor experience. Why do I even need to have two different apps in the first place?
The fact that I even need to hook another device like an AppleTV in order to get Hires or atmos streaming audio quality is a joke, this almost $2k AVR can’t do it on its own? I have tried to get Tidal, Amazon Music and Apple Music to produce quality streaming audio with no such luck. Since streaming audio is my main use case this AVR gets 3 stars.

Previously had the equivalent Marantz but it was a lemon. This Denon exceeds expectations. The clarity at any volume is perfection. For the price point I could not recommend strong enough, this receiver.

Wonderful amplifier, has all the modern bells and whistles. 4k 120hz and 8k ready. 11.2 compatible and used old pioneer reciever as external amp to drive front towers. Purchased a vacuum switch to turn old reciever off and on with new reciever.

I was looking for an upgrade from my old amp and this 1 fills my needs. Great power and a feature that will set up a separate location that can run a separate program, music or whatever you wish.

First and foremost denon needs a design upgrade. It looks like my grandads old receiver. Other than that, it is a very nice sounding receiver, It was annoying that like almost everything now a days, you need the internet to update it. The Plug and play days are over. The control has too much going on and from having another Denon for over 7 years I found that you only use the same 5 buttons all the time. SO the 3800 was an upgrade for me and It provided decent sound and ok surround sound. I was not completely sold and I felt something was missing. I mentioned the RZ50 from Onkyo to the best buy rep and he was not interested and put down onkyo because they are no longer the company from many years ago. I decided to get the Denon, but I kept reading reviews and watching videos on several Receivers. the RZ50 was constantly being mentioned as a sleeper and that it put receivers in its price range to shame etc. So can so many people be right? Then I ordered the RZ50. I have been putting together a new high end speaker package together and have been listening to all types of receivers, speakers, subwoofers etc. I found this receiver was very basic and did power my Kef towers and center. The clarity in sound I was looking for in music and the detail in surround was just not there. It was just mediocre and I was happy but just not satisfied. I read and heard many positive things about the RZ50 and so I decided to try it out. Thats when everything changed, Not only it powered my speakers easily, but the sound in both music and movies was just incredible. Im not knocking the Denon I had both receivers side by side and both plugged in to the same speaker, the 3800s just didnt give my Kefs the sound I was looking for, all Im saying is, dont go by what is recommended, go by what makes you happy and gives you that sound you have been looking for. Dont hesitate to do the research, you will be surprised. Oh yeah and Dirac is included with the RZ. Theres a reason why the RZ50 are in backorder and you have to wait weeks to get one. I found the sound I was looking for, and for a great price. Good luck in finding your sound.
