So, I upgraded a much loved AVR-3808 from 2008 with a AVC-X3800H but as soon as I opened the box I was not happy with the new 3800H. The front panel had lots of plasticky buttons and without a front flap had the USB, headphone and mic ports on show. So even though functionality wise they are almost identically I chose to return the 3800 and trade up to a 4800H. I'm now super happy with this receiver - it is a much more robust/solid beast! I'm not sure I can justify the Dirac license (and calibration mic) but am considering it! Great amp lots of power and sounds awesome.

Only had it a couple of weeks, but my word, the upgrade from a previous Denon AVC3300, to the 4800 has just blown me away, stunning in every way.I matched it with a pair of Rubicon 2 at the front, Opticon 2 for the sides Dali Atmos set at front high.The whole atmosphere of films music is just unbelievable.Plus films being produced by my faithful Oppo. The colours are like true life, Sharpe and the colour palette is just mind blowing.Thank you Richer Sounds Solihull

Replacing a 4700 unfortunately. Quieter turn on and off. Similar sound quality and dynamics as the 4700 but the Dirac Live availability is what drew my attention. Way more expensive option but cant argue with the results! Dirac and this Denon are a great match.

AVR-X4800H is manufactured in Japan. This updated full 8K AVR features discrete high-current amplifiers on all channels with 4 ohm low-impedance drive capability for a 125 watt/ch 9.4 AVR., but the difference we get this time around is in its Monolithic Amplifier layout. This means that compared to the X4700H that used two boards for 5 channels and 4 channels each, the new X4800H is using an independent power amplifier board for each channel instead which means less crosstalk and less vibration.The x4800H supports a huge list of audio formats and technologies including Dolby Atmos, DTS:X, IMAX Enhanced, Auro-3D, 360 Reality Audio and MPEG-H Audio along with the usual virtual and up-mixing tech like Dolby Surround, DTS Neural:X, Dolby Atmos Height Virtualization ...

The remote is not back lit, a bit cheaper made but you can always get a replacement from Denon if needed.Running the new Audyssey MultEQ XT32 was pretty impressive as it got speaker sizes and crossovers right automatically. Movie vs TV series audio quality really kicked in using Dynamic volume and Dynamic range. I like that the AVR’s video pass through is finally future proof to a large extent compared to the last 8 years years of incremental improvements with multiple AVR models. Yeah it does make one think how much money acquiring different AVRs to be able to pass through what you needed was lost. Biggest change is the inside design is so clean, it makes the the AVR run significantly cooler, barely gets warm compared to say a x4700H or x6700H 2020 models. Is it worth buying even if it is more expensive then 2020 models, heck yeah.
Very nice receiver, as per other review pretty much the exact same specs as the Marantz Cinema 40 but way cheaper. Built in Japan so a big selling feature, excellent sound, easy setup, no glitches, only runs warm not hot, nice new user interface. Very impressed with it!! Thanks Denon
--Had this receiver for a few days and overall very happy. I’ve got PSA speakers/subs with Klipsch Atmos and an Emotivia amplifier with a power conditioner--The Audyssey seems way better than MCACC from pioneer which a much better microphone provided (with a super cute cardboard tripod to emulate ear height). Still bought the UMIK-1 for when the unit has Dirac. Calibrating takes ~20-30 minutes as there are 8 positions to calibrate. audyssey calibration).--The multi zone is relatively good - though zone 3 matches zone 1 output. It took a bit to realize that z2/z3 had to be turned on, which can be done from the remote, but I ended up using the buttons on the unit making it a hassle to go between rooms to see if the signal was working.

It took a bit to realize that z2/z3 had to be turned on, which can be done from the remote, but I ended up using the buttons on the unit making it a hassle to go between rooms to see if the signal was working. It's a bit strange that Z3 doesn't send audio over HDMI, but that looks to be expected. Having Zone speakers powered by the amp is cool but our satellite tvs don’t have their own amps so would’ve preferred audio over all 3 HDMIs but realize that’s likely a hardware limitation. Attempted to add a signal reducer but for an old 1080p tv but couldn't get it to sync. Fortunately the new TV replaced a different 4k/HDR so theoretically just need--The biggest problem at the moment is the unit randomly freezes which causes the TV to say there's no input source and the remote/buttons/power of the unit become unresponsive with the only resolution being to unplug the unit. In the couple days it's frozen ~6 times to the point that we've installed an alexa switch to reboot the receiver so we don't have to continually go behind the unit to un/replug.--The system has less amp activation noises than the old pioneer (the loud click that happens when an audio source needs to be re-established/amp turned off/on).Small peeve; the unit just randomly updated while swapping sources instead of waiting for downtime etc.--Of note for any new users, the on screen dialogue when setting up HDMI asks if your source is 8k (presumably so it can activate "high data mode") but its secretly asking if you need to use the 40gbps+ HDMI connection - 8k at 60hz or 4k at 120hz. Took a bit of root causing to figure out that was why the PS5 couldn't 120hz through the receiver.--Harmony remote doesn't have the model but loading a 3800 works well enough as long as you understand you're sending 3800 signals to 4800 unit (input names are different, some commands aren't available or just differently labeled, etc) but overall works with the harmony remote.--The setup was quite smooth though as with most auto calibrations there was room to fix the Atmos crossover frequencies and I'm not convinced it knows how to handle bass though I think most high end sub woofer users have that expectation from all auto calibrators.--The remote is a typical AVR remote, just wish there was some forward movement. Not a remote you ever really want to touch as it’s very large and doesn’t seem to have a good IR transmitter so very sensitive to LOS.--Will probably have to return the unit for the freezing but will give a few more days to determine frequency.--If you’re on a 120hz VRR HDR 4K source the onscreen menu starts blacking out every few seconds, better to just change your input before using the relatively snappy software.--Z3 being a 1080p display will cause any main unit 4k/8k signals to downscale--Not a receiver issue per say, but ordered a unit from best buy that didn’t show up on expected date or a week after so had to cancel order and order from a different source (in my case amazon)-------Overall 3/5, though the lost points are mainly from the unit freezing (likely a hardware defect), clunkiness of the remote, and the very pathetic helos app that the unit wants to rely on. Fortunately, a chromecast can be used and is worlds better. The sound is quite good and the unit as a whole for HDMI sources is working wonderfully (unlike a 5 year old Pioneer on a spanking new Samsung tv). If not for the freezing I’d say 5/5 as the other items are very minor nuisances. Not looking forward to the transition time or having to set the whole thing again after two expensive return trips. Unit fixed all of the compatibility problems (which cost $600 to just bandaid) from using the pioneer on a relatively finicky S95B
I was between this and the AVR-X3800H. I decided on this for the additional power and due to the fact that it is built in Japan with supposedly higher grade components. I hope this choice pays off in the long run. As of now, I have no complaints. It effortlessly powered my THX-465IW monoliths which are 4 ohm nominal. Just make sure to apply the 4 ohm setting in the receiver.
So the receiver was already a top notch upgrade, saying you have a nice set of speakers and a quality sources. But Dirac Live (Full Version) is next level, this is your reason to upgrade to the AVR-X4800H. It makes such a cohesive and balanced bubble of sound after properly* configuring Dirac (make sure to watch a few YouTube videos). Save the default results as flat, and then create a movie and music curve the way you want it to sound. Once you have it how you think* you want it, upload it to the AVR and take it for a spin. Dirac has finally freed Denon AVR's into something exceptional, not just great. JUST FYI: You'll need a MiniDSP Umik-1 (or version 2, but not necessary), the curve text file from MiniDSP (90 degree version), a microphone stand to place the mic ...

Watch some videos on setting up Dirac 3 so that you understand the initial settings etc. After each position is completed, hold on to your hats! You may need to adjust volumes here and there afterward, but you will notice that, wow, this thing sounds WAY better than Audyssey on its very best day in a perfect world with the Apps. Denon, thank you for adding Direc Live 3, now can we have Dirac Bass Management and Dirac ART (Active Room Treatment)? Unstoppable? Thank you in advance.
So the AVR-X4800h is really everything most people could possibly need for excellent and engaging sound at home. If you can swing the price, it's amazing! Just waiting for Direc Live to release in March of '23 lol. Now let me tell you what you need to know about owning this thing. You need great sounding speakers that will probably cost quite a bit more than this (5.1.4 for atmos is my setup), high quality speaker wire and banana plugs, high quality HDMI cables and to do a little research on operating it. Until Direc Live is released you'll be using Audyssey, which is good but with some limitations. You'll need the Audyssey app on a large phone screen or tablet. Set up the speakers, turn off midrange compensation, cap the Eq to 300 hz on each speaker, turn off all ...

After you upload your settings to the receiver, go into the receiver settings menu and make sure the volumes actually match and sound good, I usually bump all of them up from default settings that Audyssey selects during setup. Now you need quality sources right? Apple TV 4K, Xbox Series X (Purchase the Atmos App), PC with HDMI, and I'm sure the PS5 is good, just not my cup of tea. If you have a Blu Ray player, find some atmos content. I wouldn't recommend using "smart TV" apps and arc back to the receiver, you don't need that nonsense laggy TV stuff, just get an Apple TV and everything will be seamless (not even an Apple fan, but it's the best streaming device out by far). I am coming from a X3600h and I can say with confidence that now is a good time to make an upgrade. This one is actually made in Japan, not exactly common these days. If you're a Marantz fan it's equivalent to a Cinema 40, except about 1k less lol. Most people that write bad reviews either don't bother to look into what they are buying, how to use it, or went cheap on the stuff you need to let this thing shine such as: speakers, sub, wiring etc. This is an amazing and sophisticated sound computer essentially, a little steep on price but should last you a long long time.
I picked this up as a replacement for a Denon AVR-X3800. What can I say, it’s a significant step up in quality and performance. I’m running it in a 5.1.4 configuration and with Dolby Atmos content the sound stage and channel separation is superb. Build quality is also a step up. Overall very happy with it.
