Now with both the X3800H and X4800H out, many have been wondering which of the two is better to go for so we will try to be as clear as possible here. For $800 more you get 20 more watts of power, better internal components with a Monolithic Amplifier layout, AL32 multichannel processing, 32-bit D.D.S.C. HD Digital and the inclusion of a clock jitter reducer, one more HDMI 2.1 port, a few more connectivity options and analog ports, Zone-3 pre-outs and a metal front panel with 2-Line FLD.

The Denon AVR-X4800H is a comprehensive AV receiver that excels in all areas. Its setup process is relatively straightforward, allowing you to begin enjoying it quickly. Thanks to Dirac Live, you can enjoy a balanced and clear sound from any seating position. The receiver's latest HDMI hardware ensures it will remain relevant and useful for many years to come.

We conclude that the Denon AVR-X4800H is a fantastic AV receiver capable of decoding and playing back a wide variety of audio and video formats. Without the availability of the X3800H, a 9-channel AV receiver, we'd recommend this product without reservation. To put it simply, Denon has made a fantastic device.
