It seems to have everything I could want for an AVR with great performance to boot. I’m planning on building out a 7.2.6 setup and there’s no AVR that can handle hdmi input past 4K/120hz. At $1.9k from Accessories4Less. Only thing I can think of is the latest Dirac but I’m pretty sure I can...

Looking for pre-amp/AVR to use for both Hi-Fi music listening and movie watching. The NAD seems to be the best of both worlds considering the inevitable compromises that come with wanting an all in one system. I plan on staying at a 2.1 system - pairing the NAD with the best used stereo power...

Hey all. I’ve been here a few times being exposed to amirm’s very informative reviews and related discussions but now I have more questions than when I first got here. I have an existing setup but have the upgrade itch but not sure the best path. Currently running 3.1 with - Marantz NR1609...

Hi All, I am looking for feedback on AVR options. I am based in Australia, so the availability and pricing may be a bit different compared to US/EU options. I will use the receiver for movies and music, I have a Panasonic UB820 4k blu ray player and Yamaha CDX-450 for CD music. Right now I only...

Hey everyone, I’m at the point where I want to build a high-quality sound system in my living room for my TV / to hear music and I’d love to hear your approaches and recommendations. Here’s what I’m looking for: Surround format flexibility: Minimum 5.1 setup, ideally 7.1—and if more outputs...

Hello there everyone! moving into a new house and so I want to upgrade my home theater, and I am confused in the vast sea of equipment going around here. My living room is 19.7 feet by 17 feet for reference. I am confused like proper confused about what AVR to get. First of all, the speaker...

anybody know what dac is in Denon avr X5200W. There is no information online. Thank you.

With the recent price drops of Denon AVRs in Germany (349€ for this particular model) I decided to upgrade my current stereo setup to a surround system. This is the EU model, which, unlike the US version, does not have pre-outs for front left and front right. I have active mains however, so I...

I have a Fiio BTA30 DAC/AMP (bought mainly for my PC) but noticed that when I connect my TV's optical output to it and then from it to my A/V receiver, the sound quality improves noticeably compared to when my TV is directly connected to the A/V Receiver. My question is whether it is worth...

Hello everyone, I'm looking to get some advice on what gear to purchase for my system. I have a 2.2 channel system that I use for Movies, TV, and Gaming. I'm giving my AVR to a friend (Denon AVR-S950H) and looking to replace it with something new. I'm unsure if I should just get a new AVR...

Hello everyone, I'm here to ask for your feedback and advice on the choice of equipment. After a lot of research and combing the net, forums, comparisons, measurement analyses (many right here), subjective opinions, I've learned a lot, discovered lots of brands and models, but I'm still...

Hi Picking up a 1 year old 4700 unit from Richer Sounds on Monday, it was a trade in unit and comes with 1 year warranty, the previous owner had it and then traded it in for an 8500 I have the serial number for my new 4700 2 questions, apart from opening it up.. how do I tell which DAC it has...

Hello, all! I just lucked out and got a demo pair of KEF Reference 1 Meta for a mere 2700 dollars (Magnolia for the win!). They sounded great even in the shoddy showroom and I excitedly purchased them, but the hard reality is that the only amp I have is a cheap, possibly somewhat broken, Yamaha...

For a 5.1 setup and a HTPC for movies, using MPC-HC. The AVR is connected via HDMI. Yes I see bitstreaming formats in Windows in "sound card" settings for the Marantz. Is it correct that I need the *Windows* sound settings on Stereo for the AVR (do I need to set Full Range speakers??) so it...

Hi everyone! New member and first time poster. I posted the same question on Reddit and some other forum, so don't be alarmed if you find it. I'm currently in the process of setting up the home theater of my dreams in my living room. And, as per title, I'm looking for advice on the equipment I...

I have a Marantz SR5013 and two rather "ineffecient" Nubert speakers 82.5db/1m@ 4Ohms. (nuBoxx B-40) For the AVR it says in the specs it can drive 185W for 2x speakers at 4Ohms, and of course less the more speakers are connected. Now, I don't have any issues with this setup currently, yet I...

Hi guys, I am stumped now that I have looked everywhere and couldn't find a definitive answer to this situation with my limited knowledge: I have a Denon X1600H and a full suite of in wall speakers already installed. The sub is a Definitive Technology IWsub 10/10. The AVR will be upgraded to a...

Hey Guys, probably an overworked topic but I can’t seem to find any advice on my specific question. Current setup: Old Denon AVR1611, SVS Prime Bookshelfs, Center, Satellites in a 5 channel base layer, SVS PB 2000 Pro, 8” Definitive Techlogy sealed sub, using original 5 layer base of...

$320 Shipped in the US Denon AVR-X3400H, originally purchased from Crutchfield. 7.2 channel Receiver with support for Dolby Atmos, eARC, Audyssey MultEQ XT32, and 4K Video passthrough (link to full specs) Everything is in perfect working order and is in mint condition, aside from a few mild...

Hey everyone! I currently run rz50, Klipsch rp8000f and rp450c as my front stage. Everything else is also Klipsch for a 7.1.4 setup. When I started out I had no plan, and my budget wasn't clear, and so this ended up being my first surround system, not build from hand-me-downs from clients that...
