Very good reviews

        Or you could actually just look at the front of the unit for the volume… :P

    How does this compare to the Marantz 5.2 Channel 4 K Network A/V Receiver from same seller?

  • brett174 on 15/06/2018 - 10:54

    So tempted by this. Would it be worth upgrading from a Denon 1612 (about 7 years old) to this if I don't have a 4K TV or overhead speakers for Dolby Atmos / DTS:X ? Currently have a pretty mid level 1080p Panny Plasma and Paradigm Series 7 speaker package.

    • 2024 on 15/06/2018 - 12:18

      I just went from a 1912 to the x1400.
      My thoughts:

      BAD
      The remote with the new one is less capable - for instance it doesn’t have controls for tv power

      Pro Logic II has been replaced with Dolby Surround. Sometimes I like to upmix stereo music to surround and with the 1912 I could set Dolby Prologic II Music to put the center channel into the front main speakers. Then when I switch to Movie it would undo that change and have the Center channel acting normally. With the new one - the center channel preference is shared between movie mode and music - meaning that I have to change that centre speaker surround parameter back myself when watching a 2 channel movie source (such as some TV) - and it’s fiddly to do. Takes a few steps through the menu. I’ve tried programming my harmony ultimate to no avail…

      GOOD
      The x1400 actually has the same DAC as the the 2016 Denon Flagship - I much prefer the sound from this compared to the 1912

      Spotify connect is a godsend compared to airplay

      Wifi and Bluetooth

      HDMI on front - makes it easy to plug in laptop or whatever temporarily

      For me the upgrade is worth it :) and I ain’t 4K until they can make band-free oled

  • rattle on 15/06/2018 - 11:07

    What do I do about the power plug?
    I haven't bought something like this from overseas before, but very keen as my receiver died recently.

      It looks like it takes a standard IEC C13 cable (standard computer cable) and 230V/50Hz (same as Australia) so you will either need an adapter to use the cable provided or find/buy an IEC cable.

    • LlamaLlamaLamp on 15/06/2018 - 11:22

      It'll be a three pin "kettle" plug which you can just replace with an Australian version or use an adaptor.

  • fookos on 15/06/2018 - 11:14

    I'm tempted also - would be upgrading from a Marantz slimline - which I presently have in an entertainment unit and use some nifty usb fans to keep the air moving. I've got more height capability in there, but don't want to make things too tight!

    The more modern features of this one, including Atmos, is appealing though. Before my marantz days, I was a Denon-dude!

  • mrXO on 15/06/2018 - 11:36

    Hi guys,
    If you were to buy one, what do you do with old Amp/Receiver if you have one?

    I am asking as I have quite a > decade old Denon AVC-A1 and it still does what it does, although lacking quite a number of codecs.

    Cheers

    • vinni9284 on 15/06/2018 - 11:48
      +1

      The question is, what do you want to buy the new one for?
      HT? Video Passthrough, Wireless functions … etc?

      That old Denon is awesome.

      If you have a 4k TV, you can use the TV Toslink out to optical in to your old Denon. However I think it is limited to 2.1 Channel.

      Cheers

      • mrXO on 15/06/2018 - 13:32

        Was into HT a fair bit in the old days and that thing did set me back > 2k at the time.
        Yes may as well stick with it.

      Choice! Not sure whether to snap this up, go the Sony, or stick with the slimline range I've been happy with and aim for a Marantz NR1608…

      Last time I picked up a receiver, I'd actually just gone out to buy a loaf of bread and came home with the Marantz NR1601 (and bread).

  • cloudie9 on 15/06/2018 - 14:02

    Will I see any speaker performance changes from Yamaha amp to this Denon amp? My Yamaha amp is like close to 8 years old and still going fine (touchwood). I pair my Yamaha with Bose Acoustimass 6 Series III speakers, the smaller cubes ones and to be honest, they are not as loud as I would have thought. Not sure if the upgrade to this Denon would made a difference?

    • abb on 15/06/2018 - 16:16

      How many watts per channel is your current amp?

      When you crank the volume, do you hit the maximum of the amp, or do the speakers start distorting because they're travelling too far?
      (Also if your amp has some kind of "clipping" indicator that would be helpful to diagnose the problem too…)

      If you're maxxing out your current amp and everything sounds fine, just not loud enough, and your current amp has less power than this one, then yes, buying this will help. Otherwise no, your speakers are the problem.

      • cloudie9 on 15/06/2018 - 16:54

        It is Yamaha RX-V665 and according to the specs, it is 90W per channel. Yeah that is the exact problem I had, I have to max out the sound to in order to hear the sound but sound produced is fine though. So is it a worthy upgrade to this Denon?

        • dfaktz on 15/06/2018 - 21:08
          +3

          In that situation, Yes.

  • Arry on 15/06/2018 - 14:25

    I have a Denon 3808 that I bought in 2008. Was an expensive AMP at $3,500.

    Would this newer but cheaper one be far superior, the 3808 has 150W per channel where as this one has 130W?

    • vinni9284 on 16/06/2018 - 09:25

      No. Your 3808 is superior.
      This receiver is an entry level 7.2 channel.
      Although it is a nice receiver and priced well (here), it will do the job.

      Yours might compare to an equivalent X3400 and not X2400

    • Whisper Quiet on 19/06/2018 - 06:52

      It depends what your speakers can handle… If it's 8 ohm then you'll be looking around 90-110w per channel. 6ohm is 125-150w. This can do 4ohm but only in segments which will be capped at 150w max. Your receiver does 130w @ 8ohm but might not handle 4&6ohm in its proper capacity. Remember the ratings are a maximum depending on the speakers, audio content, speaker distance and other factors… Plus depends if you have a lot of content with Dolby Atmos or DTS-X in 4K. Otherwise no point in upgrading yet. Atmos isn't that big of a difference. Maybe one or two scenes per movie you'll hear the elevated speakers make an impact. But I'm sure it'll get better over time. This is definitely the best receiver under $1000.

          4K@60hz there is only one movie available that does that! Billy Lynn's Long Halftime Walk. So unless you're playing games at 60fps or watching a YouTube demo video there is no issue. Movies are 24fps. Plus users have said that even at 60Hz it changes the screen to 1080p when the menu comes on, then back to 4K when closed (with latest firmware update)

    Just saw on the Denon website the receivers which will be upgraded to E-ARC by a firmware update will only be the X3400h and upwards, which sucks! E-ARC will let you have lossless passthrough audio from your TV to receiver. For almost every TV the max HDMI ARC will do is Dolby Digital 5.1 or DTS 5.1… Other than some LG OLEDs which will do Atmos passthrough but not DTS-X, Dolby TrueHD or DTS Master Audio. You also have to make sure your TV will be upgraded to E-ARC too. It seems it's not a HDMI 2.1 only feature.

    Just bit the bullet and made the purchase! It's an upgrade from a decades old Sony STRDB795. I also have an XBox One X and LG UJ752T to hook up! Delivery says it will arrive sometime after 26 July though!

    Just bought one yesterday. Within a few hours of completing the purchase, I got an email from Amazon to say my account had been locked and to upload verification evidence details before they will unlock it and process my order. Fingers crossed it all goes through.
