New drone from Denon for home theater
Denon has released a new flagship model home theater amplifier. The AVC-X8500H amplifier has 13.2 channels, which promise a power output of 150 watts per channel with an eight-ohm load.
The most noteworthy feature is that the amplifier supports both Dolby Atmos and DTS:X as well as Auro 3D. The amplifier can also be used in 9.1.4 or 7.1.6 channel mode, meaning that there can be up to six Atmos speakers in total. Of course, support is also available for Denon and Marantz’s HEOS multi-room system. Voice control is achieved using Amazon Alexa and wireless sources include Bluetooth and AirPlay.
On the audio side, the amplifier supports DSD playback up to 5.6 megahertz and high-resolution flac, alac, and wav files. As a DAC, it uses the AKM AK4490EQ. There are eight HDMI inputs and three outputs. They support 4K video at 60 frames per second, HDCP 2.2, and Dolby Vision, HDR, and HLG pass-through. Support for HDMI 2.1 is promised as a software and hardware update later. For eARC, only a software update is required, which Denon says will be available later this year.
Included is Audyssey Platinum room correction software and fine-tuning can be continued with the Audyssey MultEQ Editor application.
The manufacturer promises the novelty to hit stores as early as this month. The price in the United States is $3,799.
