Below are the comments of a neophyte after two months of almost daily use with the Denon x3800h.
- Atmos and surround imaging post Audyssey is clearly better than my old SR60xx. Is it really the microphone?
- I had audio dropouts in ECO mode but they went away once I lowered my subwoofer trim.
- I love having a dedicated TR output but wish it was a little more configurable.
- It generates heat, but like my SR60xx, a single 4.5 inch usb fan is enough to manage it.
- The initial start up is annoying slow.
- Menu navigation has weird delays but has somewhat improved since factory reset.
- I started using Web navigation and it is great but doesn't work on my mac.
- I love having a full size LED display again.
