What reviewers are saying
We read all the reviews. Here's what reviewers feel most strongly about:
- Denon AVRs are known for being user-friendly, offering a straightforward setup process guided by an intuitive on-screen menu.
- They often provide extensive connectivity options, including legacy analog inputs alongside modern HDMI 2.1 ports, allowing for flexibility with various devices.
- Denon receivers frequently include Audyssey MultEQ XT32 for room correction, and many offer an upgrade path to Dirac Live, allowing users to tailor the sound to their listening environment.
- HEOS wireless multi-room audio technology is often built in, allowing seamless integration with other HEOS-enabled products for a whole-home audio experience.
Our favorite reviewer quotes:
- "The Denon practically dared me to keep cranking it louder and louder, though, and no matter how loud the music got, that rich, robust, tummy-rumbling bass stayed perfectly proportional with the rest of the mix. That indicates to me that the PMA-1700NE is perfectly stable with speakers whose impedance curves dip (however briefly) below 4 ohms."

- "The DCD-3000NE excels in delivering a vivid and spacious soundstage, with exceptional clarity and detail across all frequencies. The bass is deep and controlled, while the mids are rich and natural." (https://www.ohhifi.com/flagship-sound-denon-dcd-3000ne-review)
- "What truly sets this player apart is its musical presentation. The separation between the audio and digital boards results in a remarkably clean signal path, evident in the player's ability to render complex musical passages with exceptional clarity."

- "The A1H did an exceptional job of this, making the rolling thunder sound miles—not feet—away. Toward the latter part of the film, the mix evolves a bit and becomes a sonic exploration of the differences between interior and exterior spaces, and with the interiors, sounds like the hum of mercury-vapor lamps in particular did an excellent job of creating a sense of space that was out of proportion with my listening environment."
