About Denon DRA-800H 2-Channel Stereo Network Receiver for Home Theater
Overall Feedback:
85% positive
83% were impressed with the power output, but 17% weren't
I noticed that the stereo-receiver can power the speakers but only just and there is a significant degradation to the sound quality. The bass was just gone.
89% highlighted the user interface, but 11% didn't
The setup on screen interface may seem confusing, but I can set it up using the unit's screen in 30-60 minutes by looking up the manual at Denon online.
88% were impressed with the multi room capability, but 12% weren't
I can play the same music on all three sets in different rooms of the house, which shows the multi-room capability of the stereo-receivers.
I do not require the feature of directing sound to another room and do not want to involve my smartphone in HEOS operation.
74% found it compatible, but 26% didn't
I faced a problem with the stereo-receiver's compatibility when it flipped to HEOS/Bluetooth. It showed a stopped player on-screen and continued to do so until I disconnected my phone's Bluetooth.
I am disappointed that the front USB port is not compatible with iPhone or iPod, even though it was mentioned on the Denon official website.
I faced a problem with the compatibility of the stereo-receiver. I knew it could not be the Denon receiver because the manual clearly states it is 2.2 compatible.
86% were satisfied with the build quality and durability, but 14% weren't
The stereo-receiver has been in daily use for over a week with no issues and little heat output, and appears to be well-built.
I received the product in a box that was not firmly taped and the foam wrapper inside was a little torn and not taped fully, which made me concerned about the build quality and durability of the stereo-receiver.
