Denon DRA-900H 2.2-Channel 8K Stereo Receiver

I should not have been surprised at the high quality of this product. In 1999 I purchased a Denon AV Surround Receiver (AVR-2800) based on my satisfaction with the Denon Fully Automatic Direct Drive Turntable (DP - 47F) I owned. I was excited about having theatre like surround sound in my home and also bought a Klipsch surround sound speaker system. My enjoyment of movies surpassed that of music. Many years have passed since then and my love of music has returned. I begin listening to more music on CD and FM radio and from my vinyl album record collection. The sound was not as good as it once was, so I downsized to a pair of Klipsch Reference Premiere speakers. The sound reproduction from my CD's and FM radio improved, but the playback from my vinyl album record collection was poor. Upgrading to a better phono cartridge did not help much. Overtime there was also a noticeable deterioration in the sound of my CD's and FM radio. At that time, I realized that my Denon AVR-2800 had reached its endpoint of bringing me hours of listening pleasure and needed to be replaced. Searching brought my attention to the Denon DRA-900H Network Stereo Receiver and another brand name network stereo receiver. I chose the Denon DRA-900H although I was concerned about a 100w per channel stereo receiver being able to power my pair of 125w Klipsch speakers. Once all the connections and setup were completed my concerns were alleviated. The DRA-900H is able to effortlessly power my speakers with room to spare. I hear instruments and background vocals flowing from my speakers when I playback CD's that I had not heard before. New life has been given to my vinyl album record collection. The DRA-900H brings out the best sound from them without having to be pushed to distortion limits. Rather than use the included AM/FM antenna included I connected an external antenna to pull in more stations. The full dynamic sound when watching movies on Blu-ray discs is equal to if not better than the sound reproduced from my retired Denon AVR receiver. The HEOS app and the Denon AVR Remote app gives me easy access and control from my smart phone, where I can connect to my smart tv, wireless headphones and Spotify. HEOS/Internet Radio is another feature I enjoy because it is another way I can explore multiple genres of streaming music. In order to utilize the apps on your smart phone you may have to disconnect from VPN, like I do. One final comment I would like to make is about the setup. It is slightly complicated and will take some time to complete. Patience and tenacity will result in many hours of listening enjoyment for years to come. Oh, by the way my Denon DP - 47F turntable still performs just like brand new.

Funciona muy bien ,bien empacado , y sugiero leer el manual con anterioridad para no perder tiempo, lo tengo conectado a unas PSB T20 que levanta sin problema pero si es necesario el subwoofer

Quite unfortunate for me that the item is defective . I will still like to buy one more as am sure it’s a great product . But my rating is purely reflective of my experience and very disheartened

Parfait

Tenia el DENON DRA800 e hice el upgrade hacia este por las entradas de HDMI que ya soportan hasta 8K60Hz por mis consolas, en cuestión de audio no escucho diferencia honestamente entre este y el 800, sin embargo NO DEJA DE SER UN EXCELENTE EQUIPO.
