desray Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 Its unfortunate that D&M chose not to allow the X7200WA to use the Audyssey app. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rock123 Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 Is it worth to get x8500h at $4.9k wherea not hdmi 2.1? Hmmmm ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petetherock Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 In SG, does 8500 have other colour then black ... like the 7200 they just bring in black colour only ☺ I don't so, at least not in the first batch. You can call Denon to check if they will bring in other colors later on. In any case, you will have trouble matching other amps or gear unless you have a silver / champagne theme..

jan97 Posted March 3, 2018 Share Posted March 3, 2018 Why worry about HDMI 2.1?8K, high frame rates,etc?Most of the stuff it adds, like higher resolutions and frame rates, won't be widely available for years, if they come at all. you buy first enjoy first. Don't lose sleep over such things. ;D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

desray Posted March 3, 2018 Share Posted March 3, 2018 For those worry about planned obsolescence arising from the HDMI 2.1 in the horizon...Fear not as I recall I read somewhere that if HDMI 2.1 truly ratified in the near future, D&M will provide upgrade for the daughter board but you must bring in the unit to their service centre. That aside, to ally the fears of those sitting on the fence for this one, the software (content) to take full advantage of the prowess of HDMI 2.1 like 8K is still very very far away. This should NOT be your primary concern when getting the AVC-X8500H. For those with deep pockets, this is highly recommended imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitesox Posted March 3, 2018 Share Posted March 3, 2018 You should this time, mine is not even seasoned yet, and the impact, surround steering,etc, is another level up from the previous x7200. So you are using 8500 huh? When I do comparison, the processors/HDMI main board of 8500 seems smaller size compare to 8802A. Silent killer is coming out soon .... 8805 ... 8805A I wonder how it (8500) sounds compare to my Marantz 8802A... wont mind to pay you a visit bro ? Price of 8802A was about the same price as 8500 too even though there is no built in amp at all. ;D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it's fun to enjoy something new... so when will you bite bro, you are the king here of new tech :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petetherock Posted March 3, 2018 Share Posted March 3, 2018 BTW there is a separate code file for most remotes: http://manuals.denon.com/AVCX8500H/preset/AVCX8500HPresetCodes.pdf With this, I could program my Oppo and Sony players, as well as my Samsung TV. Nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jan97 Posted March 3, 2018 Share Posted March 3, 2018 The 8802 Digital board is using 4x DSP, which occupy too much of the PCB real estate, while 8805 and 8500 uses 2 DSP. Thats why you noticed that the board is smaller. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
