Denon AVRX4400H 9.2 Channel Full 4K Ultra HD Network

First impression is it's a pleasing upgrade from my 2009 Marantz NR1501. The modern setup/on screen display is a huge leap forward and makes getting your surround sound system configured a breeze. The Denon is smart enough to automatically switch surround modes from Dolby, to DTS, to Stereo, etc, as I switch from streaming app to app in my TCL Roku tv or to my Xbox One X. HEOS and other embedded wireless features is a nice touch that I look forward to becoming familair with over time. The two phone apps HEOS and AVR Remote seem sufficient and have not been buggy for me as others reported in the Google Play store. I will update this review as time passes. What I am really thrilled about and what puts this in a league of it's own in this price point is the fact that it has 9 amplifiied speaker outouts for 7.2.2 but an extra two unamplified outputs (11.2 speaker outputs) total. You can use an external amplifier to power rear Atmos speakers 10-11. But wait! You can use one of the two subwoofer preamp outputs as an overhead "voice of God" Atmos speaker 12. I will be using my old AV receiever as an amplifier for the rear 2 speakers Atmos speakers 10 and 11, and subwoofer 2 output for Atmos Voice of God speaker 12, to enjoy a full 7.1.5 Dolby Atmos configuration. Denon makes this really easy in their graphical Audessy Amp Assign graphical menu. (See pic) Nothing else comes close to 12 speaker support at this price range.
