Denon's 15.4-channel flagship AV receiver, one of the most connection-rich consumer AVRs ever made. All seven HDMI inputs handle 8K@60Hz and 4K@120Hz, and two of the three outputs are full HDMI 2.1 — the Zone 2 output tops out at 4K@60Hz. A balanced XLR stereo input joins five RCA pairs and a moving-magnet phono stage, and there are two USB ports: front for media playback, rear for 5V power supply only. Ethernet is 100Mbps for HEOS streaming.
