Denon AVR-X4800H AVR Review

Aha - the famous hover-amp

Good advice though

How do you power the fan -

Sorry for the tardy response, just caught your question.
In this case I use a Noctua NA-FC1 controller to keep it and other system
cooling fans running as slow and quiet as possible. It powered by a wall-wart
power supply.

In the link below, you can also find my solution with the NOCTUA fan, which is powered by a Samsung USB phone charger.

Marantz SR8015 Review (Home Theater AVR)

The fan setup I bought was like a 120 dollars when all is said and done. Not sure how that’s even a something to consider when you spent 3k or more on the unit For sure, I did my Denon X4700H with a cheap $32 Noctua fan Lots of ways to address any heat issues, mine remains ice cold.

Thanks for the detailed calcs - really appreciate this .

I think it’s likely these are quite conservative Based on my real world use.

Listening distance is under 3m, speakers are close to front wall so there will be some room gain. I would normally listen to music at 70-75dB at the MLP.

That said, Dirac will have added some mid bass boosts which could add some additional demand for power !

I think I might be a while without the Denon and have been missing the music so for shits and giggles I’ve hooked up a RPi4 with HiFiBerry Amp 2 HAT to my F206s. It’s flashed with Roopei to use as a Roon end point streaming over wifi. Only rated at 30W pc so I am being very cautious with volume, but at least the music is back. We live in a golden age where this is possible in such a small cheap device !
