Premium, stereo sound
If you’d like all the versatility and streaming options of an AV receiver but prefer to stick with stereo speakers, then this is receiver for you. Rather than offering multiple surround sound channels, the DRA-800H focuses on the best two-channel, stereo sound. The high-current, custom designed amp uses a discrete output for dynamic, low distortion sound. The power transformer has OFC (Oxygen-Free Copper) windings for smooth, effortless power.
High power output
With just two channels to concentrate on, the DRA-800H delivers a punchy 100 watts per channel. This is ample for all types of speakers, including low efficiency models. The DRA-800H also provides plenty of power for larger rooms and party-level music.
Listen in another room
Featuring speaker A/B outputs, the DRA-800H also lets you listen in another room or, if you have a large open-plan space, to fill the area with sound from four speakers. Alternatively, extend audio to another room via the zone 2 passive outputs – using a second amp or active speakers.
Bluetooth, AirPlay 2, DLNA and built-in wi-fi for the complete networking experience
With both Bluetooth and AirPlay 2 connectivity it's easy to connect all your smartphones, tablets and compatible lap/desktops and stream music wirelessly. The Denon also comes with wi-fi, Internet radio and DLNA. Simply connect to your home network via Ethernet or wi-fi and access thousands of Internet radio sites via vTuner as well as subscription services such as Spotify Connect Premium Spotify account required). DLNA compatibility lets you stream from other sources such as your laptop or NAS drive.
Voice control via Alexa, Google Assistant and Siri devices
Controlling a sophisticated receiver like this can be baffling for some members of the family, which is why Denon have made it compatible with Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant and Siri devices. Simply download the HEOS Home Entertainment Skill app and then just ask Alexa or the Google Assistant to perform basic functions. Using the Apple Home App, Siri voice control from your Apple iOS device brings added functionality over AirPlay 2 – including grouping devices.
HEOS built-in - for the finest multi-room audio
HEOS multi-room music systems connect together by dual-band Wi-Fi, making them easy to set up with your existing home network. Up to 32 HEOS units can be set up at one time, ensuring even the largest of homes are covered for multi-room music. With HEOS already built-in, the DRA-800H is ready to go as a single 'zone' without any further adaptors.
Control it all with the HEOS app
Once you've set up your HEOS speaker system, you can stream music effortlessly via the dedicated HEOS app. Available for Apple iOS, Android and Amazon Kindle, the app not only lets you stream your stored music but also Internet radio services and popular streaming services such as Spotify, Tidal, Napster and Deezer.
HDMI interface with support for HDR10, HLG and HDCP 2.3
Featuring a comprehensive HDMI interface, the DRA-800A is ideal for connecting your AV sources – such as Blu-ray player, games console and TV. The HDMI sockets support HDR10, HLG and HDCP 2.3, which means you can play UHD Blu-ray discs and stream UltraHD video in the highest quality.
Connect more – including a turntable
As well as five HDMI inputs, the Denon also has a wide range of other connectivity. Optical digital inputs are ideal for connecting older devices or upgrading the sound from a compatible CD/Network player. Two analogue inputs are perfect for Hi-Fi components, with the dedicated MM phono input ideal for plugging in a turntable.
Bring all your music together, with the Denon DRA-800H.

Misleading advertising about working with Alexa
The product is advertised as "works with Alexa". But it barely does.
If you ask Alexa to play any BBC radio station on it, it will just say ""Sorry, I can't find the station you requested".
The supposed Deezer integration is the same. Try to get Alexa to play Deezer on it and the reply is "Deezer is not supported on this device".
I've contacted Denon and they say a future update should fix this. But looking at various online forums, they have been saying that to customers for years!

Nice amp. Terrible product. Worst app ever?
An unbelievably poor product.
Setup for TV a nightmare.
But worst feature by far is the HEinOuS (HEOS) app, which is breathtakingly awful.
I try to play music from my phone, but it is unreliable and won't show all my music or find anything beyond 'A' when randomised.
USB stick also won't address any music beyond 'B'
I haven't dared try to set up a streaming service yet, (the reason I bought it), as there are so many bugs and bad reviews.
Help me Richer Sounds!

Impressive looking unit
I bought this as it was a Denon, a bit suprised when I discovered it was not compatible with wireless Denon speakers. The staff were not aware but helped throught the process. The unit it self is a bit hard to understand at first but afterwards it is simple to to use. The sound is impressive

Just what I need..
Needed more power to drive my floorstanders and this didn't disappoint. Denon always produces a nice warm sound and this is evident even at low volume. Has all the other features I was looking for including Bluetooth, Spotify, DAB and internet radio. More than happy with this unit (even if it is a little larger than the Pioneer XC HM86D it replaced) .

Graet features, fantastic sound!
After 32 years of service my old NAD decided to give up. My only source of music are Chromecast and TV. With radio receiver built-in, this amplifier was a perfect choice. I was torn between Denon & Marantz NR1200, as they both sound great, but went for Denon as it's a tiny bit better choice when it comes to music. Marantz may be a tad better if watch more movies, though.
It's a fantastic product - music sounds so great, it's a perfect match to my Monitor Audio 5 Bronze floorstanding speakers, you can hear every detail, even at low volume. So happy with it!
Many thanks to Hauke from Edinburgh branch, too, thanks for your advice and help, much appreciated!
