In the climactic moment in which the sandworm first bursts out of the sand, the powerful synth elements of the score, piercing brass and booming effects have more separation than with the 2700, where they almost sit on top of each other. This moment can be underwhelming and almost choked on some sound systems, but the 2800 gives a bit of space to each facet for a more coherent, dramatic presentation. It also feels like there’s a touch more dynamic headroom revealing additional detail and helping to create impact through more than just sheer bass.
The biggest change between this new Sony model and its predecessor is the remote, which is a shrunken-down version of the DN1080's. It offers most of the same functionality but with less wasted space. Power Supply230V / 50/60Hz Power Consumption500W (Standby 0.1W, CEC standby 0.5W) Power Consumption (No Sound)35W (ECO Mode On) With a generous six inputs and two outputs, the HDMI board on the AVR-X2800H has been upgraded for this model to include three HDMI 2.1 ports capable of 8K@60Hz or 4K@120Hz video pass-through at up to 40Gbps. The three remaining HDMI 2.0 ports have a bandwidth of 18Gbps but all inputs boast 4:4:4 chroma sub-sampling and compatibility with various HDR codecs, including HDR10, HDR10+, Dolby Vision and Hybrid Log-Gamma (HLG). The latest in HDMI support: With 6 advanced HDMI inputs and 2 HDMI outputs with full HDCP 2.3 support, connect to 6 media devices and output to 2 displays. Dolby Atmos and Atmos Height Virtualization create immersive surround sound, without height speakersWith an advanced HDMI video section, the AVR-X2700H is capable of 8K/60Hz pass-through, as well as 4K/120Hz, meaning this AV receiver is ready for the future as well as being the best of now. With all the latest HDMI specifications, the Denon AVR-X2700H features 6 HDMI inputs and 2 outputs, supporting 4K Ultra HD, Dolby Vision and HDR10, in addition to eARC and HDCP 2.3 processing for seamless compatibility with any UHD TV, Blu-ray players and games consoles. Wireless Music
Switching to Robert Glasper and Amir Suleman's In Tune, there’s more breath and expression audible in the throaty vocal that lends it a lively presence compared to the 2700, which instead has a greater sense of proximity. As the simple accompaniment of the piano blooms into a free-form jam of trumpets and percussion, the 2800 opens out to reveal a broad, airy soundstage. Verdict In some ways, the spec of the AVR-X2800H isn’t that dramatically different from its predecessor. But that’s partly because the AVR-X2700H was already one of the most comprehensive, reasonably priced AVRs available.
It's called driving, Marcus!' proclaims Will Smith during the opening road race sequence of Bad Boys for Life. You could also call it a perfect demonstration of this Denon receiver's ability to lift and separate high and low. After only a few seconds with this AVR, I was hooked. There's also a European version with DAB, which is somewhat more interesting, but that's not available in the UK, presumably so that the price here could be kept as sharp as possible. High frequency surround effects such as the swirling sands, whispers of the Bene Gesserit and reverbs are clear and crisp, helping to build an expansive soundstage that feels precise but not overly diffused. Of course, the weighty delivery and warm sound that Denon AVRs are known for is still there, but with a slightly less dominant bass. Although some may miss its colossal impact in big explosive scenes, the compromise seems to have resulted in snappier timing and a more balanced top end.
In terms of size, the receiver measures 520 mm in width, 429 mm in depth, and 243 mm in height, weighing in at 11500 g. It consumes a typical power of 500 W, but its standby power consumption is low at 0.5 W, making it efficient. Unlike the other new AV receivers from this manufacturer ( 1) , the Denon AVR-X2700H only supports 8K upscaling at a maximum of 30 Hz. This is an amplifier with 7.2 channels and 150 watts per channel. Support for Dolby Atmos, DTS: X and 8K / 60Hz, 4K / 120Hz Pass-Through, HDR10 +, Dynamic HDR, ALLM, Dolby Vision, and Dolby Atmos are also available and more. Of course, eARC is also on board. It’s an easy and effective listen. No matter how hectic the action becomes, this Denon never misses a beat. It passes the laser blasts from speaker to speaker in a wonderfully coherent manner and, no matter the scene, creates a genuine sense of place.

Even when listening to music, we experienced a clear, waving sound with deep, powerful basses. Judgment The Denon AVC-X6700H, AVC-X4700H, AVC-X3700H and AVR-X2700H (DAB) AV receivers use the latest HDMI technologies with a dedicated “8K” HDMI input for 8K / 60Hz and 4K / 120Hz video Pass-through and support for new HDR formats (including HDR10 + and Dynamic HDR).

In short, whatever the format used by the film, game or stream, the Denon supports it. If we had to use one word to describe the receiver’s sound, it would be ‘confident’. The AVR-X2700H doesn’t try to overly impress as a lower budget amp, with explosions and thunderous lows delivered.The latest in video compatibility: The latest HDR format support including HDR10, HDR10+ (New in 2020), HLG, Dolby Vision, as well as Dynamic HDR (New in 2020), to provide the greatest picture quality for brightness, clarity and contrast.
