Denon announces new 2020 receivers with HDMI 2.1 and 8K 60fps/4K 120fps (3 Viewers)

Been very happy with the 2700 BTW. VRR on Xbox SeriesX and PS5 will be the big tests tho.

Just bought the denon AVR-750! Can’t wait to get it this week!

750 is $80 off at Costco this week.

$320 + tax.

I think it will do 4K passthrough.

It does indeed!

 

[DaveF]

It does indeed!

You stayed with your 7702mkII for 4K?

 

[John Dirk]

You stayed with your 7702mkII for 4K?

I did. I have no interest in HEOS, DV or IMAX and certainly not 8K. The 7702MKII has been a joy to own on all levels. I haven't found a compelling reason to part with it. My money is going into speakers these days.

 

[TonyD]

Yeah HEOS is a bust.

What don't you like about HEOS? We use it in our a/v showroom and my home.

Hey Robert - I think your question was probably addressed to @TonyD but for my part, I'm just not a fan of proprietary anything. For my modest wireless music needs, Bluetooth streaming works just fine. If I want multi-room functionality I can use my Google displays and speakers. It's certainly not an audiophile quality solution but it works for me.

 

[TonyD]

It’s been a bit since I’ve used it but I remember thinking it’s really clunky and far from a good user interface.
The search is bad.
I use Amazon Music and it isn’t a good compatibility.

like John said it’s much easier to stream to or through the Denon.

The one thing that was good is that the HEOS gives access to the Amazon hi rez version but I won’t subscribe that service so it’s pointless.

 

[Robert_Zohn]

John and Tony, please try HEOS again. I like the user interface and find it easy to use and navigate. HEOS's Wi Fi streamed audio performance is appreciatively better than Bluetooth and you will enjoy the better fidelity and clarity.

With a positive recommendation from you Robert, I don't doubt it since I know you're serious abut your toys. To clarify, I've never actually used HEOS and fear I might try it and like it. If that were to happen then I would have yet another funnel to pour my money down. Can't take the chance!

 

[TonyD]

I don’t us a server
Only music device I have is Amazon and I don’t see any of my music bring accessible on heos.

the two pics are from the Denon heos and from the heos app and nothing that goes to my music without doing a specific search.

 

[TonyD]

Maybe I’m doing it wrong or Amazon doesn’t play well with heos.

Sound United just fulfilled our new PO for more Denon 110th Anniversary AVR-110 13.2 channel receivers, PMA-A110 2-channel Integrated Amplifiers and DCD-A110 SACD/Network Servers and more Marantz 2020 receivers!

Now we can ship all of our orders and have a few available for new orders! Hope to see our HTF friends stop by our a/v showroom for an audition of these new word class audiophile equipment.

I recently got a 4700 from eBay as a certified refurbished with a year Denon warranty and 2 years from eBay for a great price.
Had some fun getting everything to play nice together but now everything pretty much works.
It is really nice sounding with a lot of options. I mainly wanted Atmos even if I don't immediately set up extra speakers from my original 5.1 and it still sounds excellent.
Still a good option for folks trying to get the best bang for their buck. My older Denon remotes seem to be able to run it just fine too.
