Product information
The Denon DRA-800H is a two-channel Hi-Fi receiver that features advanced networking capabilities and a powerful high-current discrete amplifier with 100 watts per channel at 8 ohms. It utilizes a transformer in the power supply, wound with OFC (Oxygen-Free Copper) wire for optimal performance. The receiver's circuits are designed with a symmetrical construction to ensure the shortest signal paths and incorporate carefully selected components, including custom resistors and capacitors specifically designed for audio applications. The model includes balance and tone controls, which can be bypassed when the Direct mode is activated. It uses a 32-bit AKM AK4458 chip for digital-to-analog conversion.
The device can play audio content from local network libraries (computers, NAS servers) via LAN/WLAN connection or from external storage devices through the USB port located on the aluminum front panel. It supports Hi-Res formats such as FLAC, WAV, ALAC up to 24-bit/192 kHz, and DSD (2.8/5.6 MHz). It provides access to streaming services like Spotify, Amazon Prime Music, TuneIn, Deezer, and more. The receiver also includes FM radio and DAB+ digital radio, and it has a built-in MM phono equalizer for vinyl enthusiasts.
The stereo receiver is equipped with dual-band Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, allowing audio streaming to Bluetooth headphones (with a firmware update). It supports AirPlay 2, enabling the creation of a wireless multi-room system using Apple devices. It also features HEOS support, which is a wireless multi-room ecosystem that allows control of all HEOS components through a single app and enables audio streaming from tablets, smartphones, streaming services, and local storage to any HEOS device. It offers synchronized playback of the same track in multiple rooms with precise synchronization or the ability to stream different tracks to different rooms.
In addition to the remote control and app, the Denon DRA-800H can be controlled using voice commands through Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant, and Apple Siri personal assistants. The receiver also includes a proprietary Setup Assistant program for easy and quick setup.
The stereo receiver has 5 HDMI input ports with support for 4K/60 Hz resolution, the latest HDCP 2.3 protocol, as well as video standards with enhanced dynamic range such as HLG and HDR10. The HDMI output supports Audio Return Channel (ARC), which is convenient for connecting to a television. It offers a full range of analog and digital inputs and includes a Pre Out for a pair of powered subwoofers and a separate Pre Out for a second zone. Speaker connection is achieved through four pairs of screw terminals, allowing for easy bi-wiring configuration.
