Denon AVR-X2400H review
Denon AVR-X2400H works well with the latest Dolby Atmos and DTS: X decoders and has seven amplified channels. It is capable of delivering up to 95 W/channel at 8 Ohm and supports Dolby Vision and HLG standards. This amplifier also supports HEOS and is therefore easily integrated into a Denon`s native multiroom package. On the video side, HDMI connectivity supports Ultra High Definition (UHD-4K) streams, Pure Color 4: 4: 4 sub-sampling, 21:9 video pass-through, and 3D content. The modern HDCP 2.2 standards are there for work with any Blue-Ray formats.
Denon AVR-X2500H review
The successor to the Denon AVR-X2400H is notable for its compatibility with Apple AirPlay 2, Amazon Alexa voice control, MM background input, and web-based configuration. This is a 7-channel device capable of reproducing 95 W/channel. A noticeable difference between the receivers from the Denon AVR-X2400H vs Denon AVR-X2500H comparison is the presence of Zone 2 support and the possibility of Bi-amping for the older model. The Denon AVR-X2500H also includes Audyssey MultEQ XT auto-calibration technology, which also enhances the surround effects at low listening levels.
