Denon AVR-A10H 13.4-Channel Receiver announced!

Wish they did a pre/pro version of this.
If they would, It probably would cost at least the same as the corresponding base model because of low numbers built and sold...
Thus it would be "better" to buy the base model directly...
 
Finally it weights the same as the RZ70! Hopefully the fan doesn't spin at normal listening volumes.

Will it offer selectable digital filters?

When will it go on sale at 50% off?

...and when are they going to give us XLR pre-outs?

oxygen-free copper is pretty important, the mogami cables got them and they have never oxidated for me versus other cables.

I think, that copper cables etc. are today almost always "oxygen free" (OFC), because this is the standard the industry produces its copper anyways...

Yeah you'd have to try pretty hard to procure copper cable that is less than four-nines. Not that the oxygen embedded in the metal is what causes oxidation anyway.
 
And there's always Heos which doesn't move and is a terrible UpNP-DLNA application to use - you can't even fast forward while reading a file - and incapable of broadcasting multichannel sound... We'll have to for Denon-Marantz to do something...
 
In their advertisements, Denon talks about a new HEOS module. However, it is still only 2 channel. For a unit this expensive, is it too much to ask for HEOS to be multichannel?

typical forum hearsay but I saw it claimed there would be a major Heos update coming H2 2025 alongside the new AVR lineup. It would include multichannel.

Would include or will include?
Will it allow you to move forward quickly in the read file or will it continue to only allow reading, pose or stop?
 
We finally get the refreshed version of X8500HA!

The AVR-A10H features 13 amplified channels and four independent subwoofer outputs, supporting speaker configurations such as 7.4.6 or 9.4.4. It is compatible with various audio formats, including Dolby Atmos, DTS:X, IMAX Enhanced, and Auro-3D.

This model incorporates a new array of ESS Digital-to-Analog Converters (DACs), featuring nine 2-channel ESS DACs, and supports high-resolution audio playback up to 24-bit/192kHz. The receiver provides 150 watts per channel with two channels driven and includes an oxygen-free copper (OFC) wound transformer for improved performance.

Manufactured at Denon's Shirakawa Audio Works in Japan, the AVR-A10H undergoes rigorous testing and hand-tuning by Denon’s Sound Master, Shinichi Yamauchi.
For connectivity, the AVR-A10H is equipped with seven HDMI inputs that support HDMI 2.1, 8K/60Hz, 4K/120Hz, Dolby Vision, HDR10, HDR10+, and HDCP 2.3. It also includes three HDMI outputs: one dedicated to 4K/120Hz and two capable of 8K/60Hz, with one supporting HDMI ARC/eARC. Additional inputs include two optical and two coaxial digital inputs, six analog line inputs, and three legacy video inputs (two composite and one component). A dedicated moving magnet (MM) phono input is also provided for turntable connections.

The AVR-A10H can also function as a 15-channel preamplifier, offering flexibility for custom audio setups with its 15 channel pre-outs. For room calibration, the receiver includes Audyssey MultEQ XT32 and is compatible with Dirac Live Room Correction and Bass Control, which are available with an additional license.

The Denon AVR-A10H will be available starting October 1, 2024, through authorized Denon retailers and on Denon's website, with a retail price of $4,699 and comes with a three year warranty.

What a beast! It will be interesting to see how it compares to the Marantz Cinema 30?
