Pros & Cons

Denon AVR-X1400H

VS

Pros

    • Supports HDR and Dolby Atmos.
    • Great Upscaling via HDMI
    • I have found that voice commands via Alexa work perfectly.
    • I downloaded a digital version of the remote controller to control it via smartphone.
    • This receiver is relatively small.
    • The receiver is flexible and easy to use. Firmware updating is easy and it adds new functions.
    • The application is reliable and it has many functions.

Cons

    • If you want to connect it to a 4K TV with HDR you need to unlock this ability by pushing some button combination on the receiver itself.
    • The main interface is awful. The main categories and menus are mixed and controversial.

VS

Pros

    • The firmware allows me to get the AirPlay 2 and Auto Low Latency mode, which work seamlessly and improve the receiver.
    • The HEOS application is reliable and user-friendly.
    • Offers many ports.
    • There are no glitches with a connected Apple 4K TV or my 4K UHD SONY Blu-Ray player.

    • The headphone jack is disintegrated.
    • The device is cut out at an average volume.
