Receivers
Audio quality is at least as important as the picture.
The Denon AVR-X3800H is a 9.4-channel AV receiver (AVR) that is a worthy contender for the centerpiece of any modern home theater audio setup. Vinyl fans will appreciate the X3800H's dedicated phono input. 3D audio support includes Dolby Atmos, DTS:X, and IMAX Enhanced. The X3800H's built-in Bluetooth delivers sound to a wireless pair of headphones simultaneously with the AVR's speaker output - ideal for anyone in the room who desires amplified assistance. The X3800H also has integrated speaker pre-outs to expand the listening experience to 11 channels. Also, its independent outputs for quad subs always make us smile. Equipped with the latest HDMI specs, the X3800H is compatible with 8K/60Hz and 4K/120Hz video passthrough as well as gaming-specific features, including variable refresh rate (VRR) and automatic low latency mode (ALLM.) HDR format support is complete, including Dolby Vision, HDR10+, and HLG. We appreciate the X3800H's Audyssey MultEQ XT32 room calibration technology and an upgrade path for Dirac Live - an extra calibration preset simplifies listening comparisons. The Denon AVR-X3800H is compatible with popular AI assistants, streaming sources, and various lossless file types, including high-resolution.
