Review on Denon AVR-X2700H 8K Ultra HD 7.2 Channel (95W x 7) AV Receiver 2020 Model - Optimized for Gaming, Music Streaming, 3D Audio & Video, Alexa + HEOS by Gim Sohyeôn ᠌

Average purchase, there are some things to complain about.

As a switcher between different video sources (for which I actually bought it), the device fully justifies the purchase. I did not assign any other tasks to him and I do not advise you. If you need to switch in a small room between a playstation, a TV with HDMI ARC, some other source, and also for the device to make some kind of sound from YouTube and be very cheap, then the device is VERY SUITABLE. There will be no disappointment. But words, music or cinema will have to be crossed out from the list of requirements. The sound is absolutely wooden. It might be worth waiting a couple of years when 8K signal switching becomes ubiquitous and buying a device of a higher class for similar money. Opinion based on acoustic kits Cabasse Jersey MT3, MT31, MT32 Receiver compared to Yamaha DSP-Z7

Pros
  • The device has all modern 4K switching on board. I have not tried 8K yet, there is no curling iron, no TV set for 8k. Good news: the device made friends with LG OLED65B9P without any problems via HDMI CEC. Sound volume and on-off can be controlled by the TV remote control. With a little digging into the settings (well, about an hour), you can make the receiver play from the TV not Stereo, but something like multichannel via ARC. On it actually all integration ended.
Cons
  • The Bad News: All the money in the price tag went to switching chips. There is nothing else in this device. The sound is very bad. Movies are not fun to watch. It is better not to listen to music, this device was not designed for such a low price tag. The case is tin, plastic is cheap. The connectors are gold-plated, this is not about this device. The remote control is cheap, there is nothing in the kit except the device, remote control, and batteries. Well, the calibration microphone was reported, but something tells me that it would be better not to put it down.

Plays on HecoAurora 700, a balm for the ears for a small budget (for equipment of this level)
