Recently I’ve had a chance to test Denon in practice. It was an ordeal to install it because interface was complicated. I should have looked up online how to connect it with a 4K TV with HDR because it did not pass a signal through. Note that you have to unlock this function on the receiver.
But it was worthy of it! I can firmly claim that its sound is perfect, clear, and massively loud because I have not turned the volume up to 100%.
5 days ago I checked up a perfectly packed Onkyo TX-NR676. So far, I can say that it has better sound quality than the previous one. In general, installation went without problems, diagrams lightened the process.
If you face the question which one to choose, Denon AVRX1400H or Onkyo TX-NR676, you can rely on my own receiver comparison because I have tested both.
Denon can be upscaling via HDMI and is smaller. Meanwhile, Onkyo is more powerful (700 versus 560 W) and has more HDMI inputs/outputs (7/2) in comparison to Denon (6/1).
The main disadvantage, which is not shown in a comparison chart, is Denon’s complicated instruction and interface. However, Onkyo has rare HDMI 2.1 cable.
Other differences Onkyo TX-NR676 vs Denon AVRX1400H are not so significant.
Finally, if you are in two minds, Onkyo TX-NR676 or Denon AVRX1400H, choose Onkyo if you need a powerful receiver, but be ready for searching for a necessary cable or pick Denon, which works with HDMI, but you will wreck your brain how to install it.
