Denon AVR-E400 Pro Reviews

soundandvision‘s review Edit

The Denon AVR-E400 is a good-sounding receiver that does everything you’d need it to do within the Apple universe. While the omission of Bluetooth may be inconvenient for some, add-on solutions are so cheap that this receiver is still a good value. Perhaps more significantly, this receiver provides a blueprint for how future Denon network-oriented receivers might mediate between digital content and the consumer. This updated vision isn’t so much a total break from the past as a careful reconsideration, interleaving old ideas that still work with new ideas that add functionality and make the user experience just a little easier. I had a good time with it. Oh, and I love those spring-loaded binding posts.

CNET Reviews‘s review Edit

The AVR-E400 doesn't offer the best value, the nicest design, or the best sound quality, so most buyers will be better off with one of the alternatives. But Denon has made some worthwhile strides toward making an AV receiver that's easier to use, especially on the initial setup front. If you want those features, look at the step-down AVR-E300 first. It's "only" a 5.1 receiver and is limited to four back-panel HDMI inputs (plus one on the front), but for most people it will offer a better overall value. If you do need all that the AVR-E400 offers, however, it is a solid overall receiver -- it just doesn't provide the most bang for your buck.
