The premium Denon AVC-A1H AV receiver occupies the top position in the company’s catalog and has unique capabilities for building the latest home theater. The device is equipped with 15 channels of sound amplification and four independent subwoofer outputs, which allows you to create a system for accurate reproduction of all the latest audio formats. Denon AVC-A1H has eight HDMI inputs and three outputs of the latest 2.1 standard, which allows you to switch a signal with an 8K resolution. Speaking of the HDMI 2.1 standard, seven inputs and three outputs operate at a speed of up to 40 Gbps and support all the functions of the 2.1 standard: VRR, ALLM, eARC, QMS, QFT, Ultra HD 4K at 120 fps and UHD 8K at 60 fps.
In terms of new features, the Denon AVC-A1H supports Dolby Atmos 9.1.6 configuration thanks to its fifteen discrete amplification channels. This configuration can be expanded by connecting four subwoofers via the same number of independent outputs. Likewise, the ESS Sabre ES9010 DAC (192 kHz/32-bit, 8 channels) is replaced by the ESS Sabre ES9018K2M (384 kHz/32-bit, 10 channels). For its part, the dual DSP Analog Devices ADSP-21573 Shark+ has been replaced by the ADSP-21593 Shark+, and the capacitors are two models of our own production with a capacity of 33,000 microfarads. Finally, compatibility is achieved, on the one hand, with Sony’s 360 Reality Audio sound processing, on the other hand, with the Mpeg-H standard. The Dirac Live calibration process is also planned to be added via an upcoming firmware update.
The front panel of the AVC-A1H is made entirely of aluminum, while the side panels are made of thick steel. The new on-screen menu is now 1080p instead of 480p. There is now a lot of information available on the screen, in particular about the nature of the input and output signals, such as which channels are actually active. The same goes for the four quick select buttons on the front panel, which always provide quick and easy access to the desired source.
The Denon AVC-A1H also features Imax Enhanced certification, Auro 3D functionality, scaling of 1080p sources to UHD 4K (2160p) and UHD 8K (4320p), HDCP 2.3 certification for all HDMI ports, compatibility with HDR10+ and DTS: X Pro and Dolby Atmos Height Virtualizer. function. To adjust the surround sound, this model uses the Audyssey MultEQ XT32 auto-calibration system. It is also possible to fine-tune the surround sound, taking into account the reflectivity of the ceiling.
The Denon AVC-A1H delivers 15 x 150 watts at 8 ohms (R-Core high-current transformer) and includes a transcoder from analog sources to HDMI. The same applies to the management of DSD streams (up to 5.6 MHz) via HDMI connectors, assignment of one of the three HDMI outputs to HDMI zone 2 for broadcasting an audio-video signal other than the main room signal. main. Of course, in addition to the already mentioned Dolby Atmos 15.1.6 function, Dolby Atmos 13.1 (7.2.6 / 9.2.4) and DTS:X 11.2 (7.1.4 / 9.1.4 / 5.1.6) and Auro 3D 13.1. (7.1.6) also remain in force.

The device provides the ability to stream music from network devices and online services, including Tidal and Spotify. It is possible to play High resolution PCM audio up to 24 bit / 192 kHz, as well as DSD 5.6 MHz. Wireless technologies in the Denon AVC-A1H are represented by Wi-Fi, the proprietary HEOS multi-room system, AirPlay 2, and Bluetooth, and with the latter, the device is also able to broadcast a signal to wireless headphones. Denon AVC-A1H has support for Alexa and Google Assistant voice control, and is also certified for use in Roon systems.
Denon AVC-A1H is not only fully equipped with all modern AV technologies, but is also ready for those that may become popular in the near future. This device is an excellent choice for a serious movie buff who wants to watch his favorite movies with the highest possible image and sound quality.
