    I been thinking update my old Sony STR-DH750 7.2 amp to Denon AVC-S670H 5.2. Using PS5 to watch 4K movies. PS5 is connected directly to XGimi Horizon Pro projector and projector other hdmi port connect arc to Sony. PS5 didn’t work directly connected to Sony amp. Wonder if Denon would be good option use with PS5 and projector. I understand old Sony won’t support all audio formats that’s used with 4K movies?

    Poz! Odličan test! Planiram pribaviti av receiver pa se trenutno nečkam između: MARANTZ NR1510 i Denon AVR-S660H. Da li možda imate neko mišljenje koji bi bio bolji? Koristio bih ih za glazbu (FM+spotify) i video (Netflix) u setupu 2+1.

    Pozdrav Ivica! Po meni najveća razlika je u dizajnu - sve ostalo od kvalitete zvuka, povezivosti itd. je vrlo slično ako ne i isto. Daljinski također, tako da najbolje da odabereš onaj koji ti se više sviđa.

    Haven't listened to those but from the specs and from all the awards they've received they seem to be a good choice in this price range. Don't know how powerful this subwoofer is, but perhaps for your needs / environment it will be sufficient.

    Read the power consumption on the back. Take 65% of that as class AB ( roughly the efficiency) then divide by 5 channels and you get about 44 watts per channel all driven. Which is closer to reality. You can't get more power out than you put in from the wall. I just bought one it suits me fine

    I just got a Denon 2800 to replace an old Onkyo, and mine doesn't show "DTS-HD MA" when receiving Master Audio signals - it just reads "DTS-HD." From what I have read, this was a change made by DTS, as word is that their Master Audio decoders no longer include "MA" on the displays.... for ANY brand amp. Can Darko or someone else confirm this?
