7.2, HDMI 2.1, HDR Dolby Vision, HDR10+, AirPlay 2, Heos…

In 2022, manufacturer Denon will update only one part of its range of home theater amplifiers, namely four references. After introducing the Denon AVC‑A1H in our column yesterday, it gave way to the Denon AVR‑X2800HDAB.

In short, the Denon AVR-X2800HDAB certainly incorporates all the technical features of the AVR‑X2700H DAB+ coming in 2020, modelled on several major developments, including more HDMI 2.1 connectors, three inputs, and two outlets. We can also mention a new user interface in 1080p quality (for 480p) and a new network section (module + antenna). Don’t forget the new AL32 multi-channel processing multi-channel.

Denon AVR-X2800HDAB Key Specifications

Going back to three HDMI 2.1 inputs and two outputs, they support all the features of the standard: VRR, ALLM, eARC, QMS, QFT, Ultra HD 4K 120 fps to Upscaling in Ultra HD 8K 60Hz (See our news HDMI 2.1 standard, official additions welcome, technology and ergonomics).

So you can listen to music on speakers in the living room, or wireless headphones in the kitchen or bedroom.

There is also the possibility to take advantage of multi-channel decoding in the main area (eg living room) and broadcast the downmix signal in stereo in the Heos 2 and 3 areas at the same time, being able to mix in the main area with a video signal (eg a signal from DTT), from another An audio signal from a source such as an audio CD. Finally, with the onboard Heos multi-room module, the Denon AVR‑X2800HDAB offers the option of assigning a source to another link in the Heos chain in a Heos configuration.

Denon AVR-X2800HDAB, other technical features
